The one who is eating is a 1st cycle (juvenile).

The dominican seagull (the one with the yellow beak) are omnivores. Eat carrion and little fishes. I don't know which species is the other one.

Nice shot, it looks as if the photo is showing the steps for the bird to land :) does that bird eat fishes?
