Sept. 11, 1906.
Bay and marsh in vicinity of Alameda, Cal.
Conditions:- 6:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. Cool; overcast;
west wind; increasing towards noon.
As we were passing out through the streets into San
Francisco Bay, I noticed that a few sandpipers were
passing in and a good many curlew or godwit pass-
ing out.
Outside I saw the following birds:-
Larus californicus. Common. Mostly young birds. Some
just passing from juvenile to adult plumage.
Larus delawarensis. A few.
Sterna. I saw a flock of about ten flying from the SE.
They were probably either Sterna maxima or Sterna
elegans.
Polymbus nigricollis. I saw a good many small flocks
of these on the water particularly off the southern
shore of Bay Farm Island.
Ducks. I saw one flock flying high in the air towards
the SE.
Ardea herodias. A few.
