Practically no shore birds were seen passing back and forth to and from the bay, save a few sandpipers. In the afternoon between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock I was out. I did not fire a shot. Outside the Island bridge there were a few grebes and scoters. A few sandpipers passed. The water was like glass. Tide low. In San Leandro Bay, I saw four terns, probably Sterna forsteri; one Ardea herodias and a few sandpipers. I did not, however, go up either of the two shallow sloughs. I was near Melrose however, and saw no large shore birds, only a few sandpipers OCT 21 1904 Alameda, Cal. to San Francisco, Cal. 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M. Conditions: - Clear; warm; light wind.
