I believe this type of bird is called a Ring-Billed Gull. Flying Rat might be more appropriate - they're real scavengers.

Flying rats in Wal-Mart's parking lot! This one looks like he doesn't appreciate that name. Nice shot.

@Betty: I took this in Keyport the other day. What seemed to be about a thousand of these gulls were fighting over a few scraps of trash one of them had managed to pull out of a dumpster.
Excellent.
