You don't say what town you're in, but they were most likely Franklin's
Gulls. They're migrating north now. Their calls are somewhat similar to
Laughing Gulls, at least from a distance.

Earlier today I listed we saw two Laughing gulls at the Northeast Lake
View college area.
It has been pointed out to me they might have been Franklin gulls instead.
And, I concur to that possibility as the gulls were flying rapidly overhead.
The reason I listed them as Laughing gulls was due to the calls they made
as they passed overhead. They sounded like the Laughing gulls I have seen
and heard along the coast.
I know Laughing gulls tend to stay around the coastline but it could be
possible the weather brought some inland?
So, I will list them as unknown gulls, likely a Franklinâs but possible
Laughing.
