It was stunning to see the setting sun silhouetting the flocks. As for gulls on Pier 70, I'm always surprised to see some of them flying around before sunup in the morning as I drive North on 99 past the waterfront. They are early risers, wherever they go overnight.

I have wondered the same thing about the huge flocks of crows that (at least in the summer) fly south east over (roughly) Lincoln park. They are not headed to Lincoln Park, but presumably some rookery/roosting area like Cougar Mountain. As for the gulls, I know a ton of them roost on Pier 70 along the waterfront. Not sure if these are the gulls in question, however. Interesting question about the gulls.
