Another possibility is dragonflies. I saw a Merlin making multiple short flights to grab these from the top of a power pole late last summer (Cherryfield, Annapolis Co).

When I got to my car, which was very nearby, I saw no evidence of whatever the gulls were after, but an educated guess would be flying reproductive ants?
