The reported "distinct black tip bill and black feathers at tail end" sounds fine for a first/second-cycle Ring-billed Gull, or even second/third-cycle Herring Gull to me, and the report was of two birds which is a big red flag (unprecedented in North America).
While I wouldn't chase this one, Black-tailed Gull is a good species for everyone to study up on and be ready to find in Maine - we're overdue, but late October would probably be a better time for one to wander over from east Asia.
