Conditions: Same as yesterday. Alameda, cal. to & from San Francisco, cal.
In the morning the following birds followed the steamer
across.-
Larus glaucescens, common; Larus occidentalis, Common;
Larus argentatus, two or three adults; Larus californicus, very
common. In the evening the following were seen: - Larus glaucescens,
a few; Larus occidentalis, a few; Larus californicus, a few; Larus
argentatus, three or four adults and immature birds. When
off the mole I saw five ducks going north; a loon and a
cormorant passed to the south.
Along the mole were a few ducks; I saw four bands of a-
bout thirty each flying out. In the shallow water was an Ardea
herodias. Quite a number of gulls were on the sand. At Fifth
St. Station, I saw two Euphagus cyanoccephalus in an eucalyptus tree. A few ducks could be seen a little way off shore.
This evening after I got home I heard as Nycticorax nycticorax
pass over. I hear them quite frequently.
