They arrive in April and by nesting on the islands protect their eggs and young from coyotes, ground squirrels, snakes and other mainland predators. The chicks are nourished on brine shrimp and flies. By August the young and their parents may be seen soaring westward over the Sierra on their return journey to coastal wintering areas.
