Black-headed Gulls

 Black-headed gulls are actually a European species that showed up on the Atlantic coast of NA several decades ago mostly in Canadian waters. They're very similar to the more common Bonaparte's Gull but are slightly larger and can be identified fairly easily by their dusky underwing. We generally see them in Winter when they lack the dark (actually brown) head they exhibit in breeding plumage. These shots were taken last Winter.
