lookout was kept for them. Larus californicus
and Larus philadelphia were very common,
many feeding together off the ferry slips.
An immature Larus californicus was
seen with the outer rectrices black and
the inner ones white. Most of the Larus
californicus were immature birds. One
was observed hovering over a flock of
twenty or thirty Larus philadelphia
which were fluttering over a line of drift
near Goat Island where the ocean water
met that of the Bay. Two or three adult
Larus occidentalis were observed along the
water front.
A flock of about twenty-five ducks
crossed ahead of us when we were SE of
Goat Island, and then swung along the
south shore of the island. They were at
a moderate height.
A few sandpipers were observed along
the marsh this morning.
