Near the ferry landing but alongside the mole I saw two
Uria troile as the train passed. They appeared to be young
birds.
Near the roundhouse I saw between 200 and 300 gulls,
about twenty or thirty large shore birds, and about fifty
sandpipers. These birds were all on the mud. In a near-

I saw a flock of about 40 Euphagie cyanoccephalus at 5th
St. Station. They were flying parallel to the beach. At
Morton St. I saw a flock of about 20 circling about.
