Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal.
Conditions:-- Moderate temperature; clear; westerly wind;
Yesterday morning near the roundhouse I saw
half a dozen Limosa fedoa standing together on the
narrow strip of beach. There were a few gulls on
the water offshore. It was a perfectly calm clear
morning and the water was as smooth as a
mill pond; the same remarks are true this
morning.
In the early parts of the creek I saw a flock
of about a dozen sandpipers on this same beach.
This morning there were no birds whatever
on the beach near the roundhouse this morning,
although considerable sand was exposed. On the
water, however, a short ways offshore there were two
flocks of Lari numbering probably a hundred
and fifty altogether. A small greta masala was seen.
Another was observed along the seawall between
Fifth St. and West Alameda Stations. In the vegetable
gardens and flying over them were a great many Eup-
heagus cyanoccephalus this morning.
