These are herring gulls

Take a bus for $20 down to Niagara Falls. An hour and forty minutes later you can enjoy one of North america's best spots for gulls. Lots of other good stuff down there too, including Black vultures and Harlequin ducks.

Thank you, Reuven.
But they seem a little bit different? Are these three all Herring Gulls?

Thank you, Andreas. I have been Niagara Falls before and I saw some gulls near the falls flying up and down.
Any other places to see gulls apart from the falls?
Btw, where will be better way to see Black vultures in Niagara Falls area? Winter Ok?
Thanks.

Bingoye,

Have a look at the OFO gulling guide and search the ONTBIRDS archive for detailed location descriptions. BVs have been seen recently. Good luck
