The female was brooding the chicks when we first saw them, inside the enclosed area on the beach; 38 was nearby. Two Great Black-backed Gulls were hanging out inside the enclosure but we drove them off. 38 then went after two Fish Crows flying by and then stayed close to the chicks. Good luck to these little guys!
