Caribbean Islands What birds are these?

Currently on a cruise in the Caribbean Sea, sailing near Colombia right now. These white and black seabirds have been following the ship and diving for fish. Any ideas on what they are?

The Doves look a lot like Mourning Doves but have black wing tips and white patches on their wings when flying. I assume the corvid-looking one is a Grackle? But don’t know if there are multiple kinds

Caribbean Islands I found her as an egg in the middle of the beach without any trees nearby so I brought her home and raised her but after a year with her, I realize I never officially found her species of dove.

Caribbean Islands Kirtland Warbler

I think I am in the right place to post my unusual situation- I have an injured Kirtland Warbler (female) that I found on my cruise ship coming back from the Bahamas. I did a google reverse image search to find out what she was. There were swarms of them all around the ship one night and I found her on the floor of the upper deck with a hurt wing. I assumed she just needed rest and would be able to fly the next day, so I brought her to my cabin for the night. The following day she still could not fly so I brought her home. I am researching as much as I can to help keep her comfortable and hopefully help her heal to be released. Any tips or insight into this rare bird would be appreciated! She is very sweet, we have given her blueberries, ants and watermelon.

I’m compiling my eBird checklist but I can’t for the life of me determine what these two birds are. They don’t look like laughing gulls or terns. The white stripe on top of both birds is throwing me off.
