34. April 1, 1908. Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal. Birds are about the same on the bay as at last accounts. To-day I noted a flock or so of ten or twelve scoters going north, while for the past three or four days I have noted similar flocks flying south. In the evenings at home a few Nycticorax nycticorax are seen passing over bound for the marshes. April 2, 1908. Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal. Conditions: - Warm; NW wind; clear. This morning at low tide there were consid- erable numbers of gulls on the sand and in the shallow water, chiefly Larus californicus. Few ducks, however, were seen. Of those at a distance, one Oedemia perspicillata was recognized on the water, while close to the mole were three or four fine adult male scaup ducks. Larus californicus and Larus glaucescens are still fairly common on the bay. I noticed quite a number on the water of Goat Island this morning. Several of the latter were taking a ride of at the hurricane deck of the steamer Newark, westward bound. This evening on the sand near Fifth St. I noted three Larus philadelphia along with other gulls. Ardea herodias near mole.
