gulls are proof that a) there is a god and b) that god enjoys the pain and suffering of birders

those are all different species. there are many places where you could potentially see any (or at least most) of them at a given time!

and that’s just the adults

short-billed gull, Larus brachyrhynchus

Iceland gull, Larus glaucoides

California gull, Larus californicus

glaucous gull, Larus hyperboreus

ring-billed gull, Larus delawarensis

glaucous-winged gull, Larus glaucescens

American herring gull, Larus smithsonianus

western gull, Larus occidentalis

lesser black-backed gull, Larus fuscus

great black-backed gull, Larus marinus

(to be clear, i am terrible at gull ID in the field, but OP used the first picture on ebird for each species, which made it easy to reverse image search them and find which ebird page they’re on.)
