Albino ravens? Nope, seagulls

I have been hearing for weeks that there are birds other than ravens in Nome.  I once saw, what I was told was, an artic bunting.  It was deceased, and decapitated, so a positive ID could not be made.  Finally in my 5th week I saw some seagulls.  I have never thought much of seagulls, but I was happy to see and hear a few.  I was able to get a picture of a couple.   I also saw some little birds.  Probably some sort of swallow, or sparrow-esque bird.   I am told that soon, there will be all sorts of geese and other birds all over the tundra.  I thought I heard geese yesterday, but I could not confirm it with a visual.
