84. August 20, 1907. Alameda to and from San Francisco, cal. Conditions: Yesterday; clear; warm; WNW wind. To-day, clear, moderate temperature, WNW wind. Both this morning and yesterday morning there were a good many of Numenius hudsonicus on the marsh west of 1st Street. On the bay, immature gulls in dark plumages and adults are common both on the wing or the water. This evening there were a hundred or so scattered about on the water SE of Goat Island. Larus occidentalis, Larus californicus, Larus delawarensis?, and Larus heermanni were observed. Last evening near High Street I noted two or three Nycticorax nycticorax flying about high up in the air just at dusk. They were not calling, although quite often they may be heard doing so. August 22, 1907. Alameda to and from San Francisco, cal. Conditions: Moderate temperature; NW wind; overcast in forenoon.
