These are assortments of gulls, but I'm primarily interested in confirming...

1. Heermann's Gull?
2. Herring and possible Mew Gull?
3. One of these Gulls have some seriously unusually stuff going on with it's bill.
4. Heermann's Gull?

1 Yes, Heermann's for the smaller ones; the others are Western, and one California (flying)
2 California (front) and Western (rear)
3 California (front, with oil stain), Western (rear)
4 Yes, Heermann's for the 3 centre smaller ones, others Western

Oil stain? Where's my sad face? Wait, no, this one is better. :C

Thanks, Nc.

Yeah, don't know for certain, but it looks most like oil or tar. Other options exist, though.

The California coast has numerous (many, many) natural oil seeps and enough traveling along that coast watching for them will result in quite a few being found.
