108. September 20, 1907. 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.
