These gull looking birds have been swooping around in a flock of 20+, circling (eating bugs?) early dusk for the past two nights in my neighborhood. Terrible photo quality, but does anyone know what they are, and why they're suddenly here? Thanks!

Franklin's Gull. They gather in flocks and forage extensively on insects and worms fattening up for the flight to the west coast of South America.
