windward. In the evening at low tide there were a number of ducks in shallow water, ap- parently Aristonetta valisneria and Scaup ducks. On the sand were a number of gulls. Two Ardea herodias were noted in the shallow water. On the bay Larus glaucescens and Larus californicus still follow the steamers, adults and young. Occasional land birds are seen flying along mole over the water. Feb. 29, 1908. Alameda to and from San Francisco, cal. Conditions: - Same as yesterday. Birds about the same. Two or three Aechmop- horns occidentalis along the mole in the morning, one was swallowing a fish as the train passed. This evening I saw a Scaup Duck feeding on the water in front of the Ferry Building. It did not fly as the steamers passed; perhaps it was wounded. It was very low tide, and two or three flocks of ducks were seen up on the sand in perhaps 1/2 inch of water. I saw an Ardea herodias in the marsh this morning. Gulls about the same, some on sand in evening; one or two Larus brachyrhynchos or Larus davisii of Goat Island in afternoon. Larus glaucescens and Larus californicus as yesterday.
