24. I saw one Hirundo erythrogaster this evening about 7:15, flying quite low over the neighboring yards. There was a light west wind blowing, It was clear and cool. JUL 12 1904 Alameda, cal. to San Francisco, cal. 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M. conditions: Overcast; warm; light west wind; tide flooding. Passer domesticus occurred quite commonly through the town. Along the seawall I saw some gulls; they were too far off to distinguish the species. In the vegetable gardens I saw a flock of about twenty Euphagus cyan- cephalus. Along the mole I saw about fifty gulls, Lar- sus occidentalis predominating, some few Larus heermanni. On the northern side of Oakland creek there was a large flock of gulls. On the bay I saw a few Larus occiden- talis and Larus heermanni. San Francisco, cal. to Alameda, cal. 5:15 P.M. to 6:35 P.M. conditions: - clear; warm; light breeze; tide flooding. Off Goat Island, I saw two or three Uria atra on the water. There were a great many flying, the majority go- ing eastward, a few oceanward. I saw a few Larus oc- cidentalis flying, one on the light at the mole, a flock north of Oakland creek, and two good sized flocks near the roundhouse. JUL 13 1904 Alameda, cal. to and from San Francisco, cal. 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M.
