April 3, 1908. Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal. Birds were about the same as yesterday with the addition of several curlew on the sand exposed near the mole. Apr. 10, 1908. Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal. Weather still pleasant; morain. Gulls about the same as a week ago except for an occasional Larus philadelphia Along the mole are a few Scarp Ducks (mostly males) and an occasional Edemis deglandi. Apr. 11, 1908. I noted the first Hirundo erythrogaster of the season fly over our yard this morning while I was feeding the pigeons. Zonotrichia leucophrys is very common nowadays feeding with Passer domesticus in the pigeon yard, devouring the feed that I place there for the doves. Apr. 13, 1908. This evening when coming down Briggs Ave., a flock of shore birds, apparently snipe, passed over swiftly to the east. The line was perhaps three or four birds deep. They were heading obliquely down- wards as though for the mud flats of San Leandro Bay. April 14, 1908. Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal. Conditions:- cool; SSW wind; overcast. Drove inside the steamer both ways, noting two or three.
