cidentalis, and Larus glaucescens were in the same numbers as yesterday. Larus philadel- phia, however, seemed to be scarcer this even- ing; a few were seen sitting on the water to- gather off Goat Island. — It is a common thing to see them in this position: When we were almost on top of them, five phalaropes flew up, and travelling a short distance sandpiperlike, they alighted close to the above-mentioned Bonaparte Gulls. A flock of twenty-five or thirty Larus philadelphia were noted hovering over the water in Oakland Creek near the round- house. In the sloughs east of 1st St. several sandpipers were observed feeding this evening. This morning there were a good many sandpipers and a few curlew feeding on the immense expanse of mud and sand in the right near the roundhouse. The gulls were all away out at the water's edge, save one or two Larus philadelphia.
