Aug. 19, 1904.
Saw Leandro Bay, Alameda Co., Cal.
Conditions:- 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 A.M. Warm; rather overcast;
light east wind in early morning, then light west wind.
Drove up the large slough north of San Leandro slough. Here
and in the adjacent marsh I saw and shot the following birds:-
Symphemia semipalmata. Common.
Macrorhamphus scolopaceus. A few.
Totanus melanoleucus. Three
Ereunetes occidentalis. Common.
[illegible]. Common.
Squatarola squatarola. Common.
Shrindo erythrogaster. A few.
Melospiza cinerea. Common.
Gulls. A few high in the air.
In Melrose slough I saw the following:-
Ereunetes occidentalis. Common.
Actodromas minutilla. A few.
Aegialitis semipalmata. Common.
Pelidna alfina. One.
Snipe. A few.
Squatarola squatarola. Common.
Symphemia semipalmata.
Nycticorax nycticorax. A few.
Ardea herodias. 2 or 3.
I noted a few Symphemia semipalmata bathing in the
shallow water after the manner of pigeons. Dales saw Aeg-
ialitis semipalmata bathing. It acts about the same as Passer
domesticus does when bathing.
