40. quite a few; hummingbirds, two; Lophortyx (californicus, heard some.) On Stow Lake I saw the following birds in addition to numerous high plumaged Fulica americana. I think that these enumerated are wild birds: Anas bosca, Chaule-lasmus streperus, Mareca americana, Dafila acuta, Spatulla clypeata, blangule albeola, Clangula clangula, and Scarp ducks. A pair of the latter (which came close over) Fuligula affinis. The Fulica americana pick up things on the water by pecking at them, just as a chicken does on land. March 22, 1909. Alameda to San Francisco, California. Along the seawall west of Fifth Street Station I saw four Clangula clangula this morning. Along the mole I saw a few gulls on a strip of mud, and a number of Aristonetta valisnerid, Scamps, and Scoters. Ducks are all much tamer now than at any time during the hunting season. On the return trip across the bay this evening, I saw in addition to the usual Larus californicus and Larus glaucescens, three cormorants and two Scoters northbound, two loons southbound, one Scarp southbound, and 1 Phala- crocorax auritus in the mouth of the slip at Alameda Pier. In the water along the mole were the usual ducks, and on the sand near to hundreds of gulls.
