Cornell Lab of Ornithology's "Birds of North America Online" is one
possibility. It has at least one video for most species and some
species may have up to a half-dozen or so. There are also audio
examples of songs and calls for most species. The Lab's home page
always has several "free samples" so the non-subscriber can decide
whether the subscription price is worth it. I believe it costs around
$40 for an annual subscription. One of the "samples" on the home page
now is the Semi-Palmated Plover, so you can get an idea of the
information available. There are several videos for the semipalmated.
I checked a few of the gulls and found that some have videos and some
don't. There seem to be more videos for the shorebirds and ducks.
Birds of America Online is my favorite resource. The URL is:
http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/BNA/
Forgive me if you are already familiar with the site :-[ .
