of Versailles Avenue and Van Buren Street I

To-day when out in San Leandro Bay and
the marsh to the eastward I saw the following:

Ardea herodias. Several singly in marsh
Scaup ducks and Aythya valisineria.

Phalacrocorax. Two. One on water.
Asio accipitrimus. One in marsh.
Euphagus cyanocephalus. Large flock
