July 16, 1908. Larus occidentalis and Larus Leermanni are the gulls noted on the bay now. July 20, 1908. Adult Larus occidentalis are the gulls most seen on the Alameda Ferry route now. They do not follow the steamers, nor are they abundant. Occa- sional Larus heermanni are seen. Along the south shore of Alameda and along the mire, occasional Nycticorax nycticorax and Ardea herodias are seen. July 25, 1908. Both this morning and evening I noted several large shore birds, apparently Cygnus, on the sand exposed near the roundhouse. There was also a goodly number of gulls, apparently mostly immature Larus californ- icus. One or two Ardea herodias were also present. On the bay Larus occidentalis and Larus heermanni occur, although not abundant. Occasional imma- ture individuals of Larus californicus were seen this morning. At house this morning a large shore bird flew over the house bound for the outer bay. It called as it passed over. I could not distinguish the species, although it was not high up. July 28, 1908. This morning I noted one or two Uria troile off Goat Island. They flew as the steamer approached.
