What a windy day! The wind was so strong it blew all the fog away. It also forced a lot of the shorebirds to hunker down in the sand. I think the two large speckled birds are juvenile Herring Gulls. Royal Terns have orange beaks. The black-headed bird is a Laughing Gull.
Here is a juvenile Herring Gull inspecting a bit of pen shell. You can see the wind ruffling its feathers. This is a big bird, the biggest gull on the beach.
It's hard to look your best on such a windy day! This is a Ring-Billed Gull.
