While walking down the street I saw a Nycticorax
nycticorax fly over high up in the air. A great many
Bosser domesticus were seen. On a patch of exposed sand
along the mole I saw about fifty Larus occidentalis,
mostly young birds. Out at the waters edge I saw six
Ardea herodias bunched together. On the bay I saw
about a dozen Larus occidentalis, some flying, some on
the water.

Off Goat Island there were three or four Uria troile
on the water. I saw four flying oceanward. But com-
ing in constantly from the sea were little bunches of
four or five flying southeastward. I saw one or two
Larus heermanni flying and also a few Larus occiden-
talis. North of Oakland creek was a flock of gulls on
the sand. Also another near the roundhouse. I saw one
Larus occidentalis near the train.
