60. Oct. 26, 1908. This morning I saw my birds in the light near the roundhouse, although the tide was out a ways. On the water, however, I saw a few gulls. On the bay Larus californicus and one or two Larus heermanni were noted. When off Goat Island a flock of about a dozen small gulls, probably Larus philadelphia, passed us going northwesterly. A flock of eight or ten coormorants, apparently Phalacrocorax auritus, passed us headed the same way. Both species were flying close to the water. This evening I counted eleven Ardea herodias in the shallow water by the mole. Oct. 27, 1908. This morning I saw several Ardea herodias in the water south of the mole; one was also seen sitting on an old duck blind. Several grebes were also seen. This evening when southwest of Goat Island I saw several Larus heermanni following in the wake of a westbound steamer; they were well astern of her. Oct. 29, 1908. This morning several small grebes were seen on the water along the mole. I rode inside the steamer, but saw several adult Larus heermanni pass close by as we neared the San Francisco shore.
