Last evening were a good many gulls on the sand. This evening I noted several on the bay, just where the two currents meet; two or three were flying and the remainder were on the water. Sunday (July 28), in the afternoon at the foot of Walnut Street, I saw two or three Hirundo erythrogaster flying along the shore, but out a short ways over the water. It was quite windy and the tide was high. July 31, 1907. Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal., Conditions: Moderate temperature; W wind; clear in afternoon. In the morning the tide was pretty well in, hence only one gull was seen in the light beside the mole; it was sitting on the water. On the narrow strip of sand were several large shore birds - probably curlew. On the bay an occasional Larus occidentalis and Larus heermanni were seen. Aug. 6, 1907. Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal.
