prax mysticoray and Larus occidentalis. As the tide
was pretty high there was not space for many birds
on the sand. In the vegetable gardens I observed
a few Euphagus cyanocephalus.
Along the mole there were a great many Larus
occidentalis on the sand. Off at the water's edge
was an Ardea herodias. On the bay I saw a few
Larus occidentalis. All were flying as it was
rather rough. I saw no Larus heermanni
San Francisco, Cal. to Alameda Mole, Cal.,
Time: - 5:45 P.M. to 6:05 P.M.
Conditions: - Overcast; wind; a little cold.
On the entire trip I saw only a few of both
species of gull, that is Larus occidentalis and
Larus heermanni. I saw only one gull on the wa-
ter and that was a Larus occidentalis. When he
rose it was against the wind, somewhat in
the manner of Oregata apula. South of Goat
Island I saw five Vivia troile on the water and
one in flight. I saw one Larus heermanni near
the mole.
As the train traveled eastward, I saw a
fine adult Larus occidentalis trying vainly to
fly away with a ladder.
