April 16, 1909. Alamedas to San Francisco, California. There were a hundred or so Scaup Ducks along the mole to-day. This evening I saw one large shore bird near the roundhouse and a flock of about twenty curlew (?) on the Marsh a little to the south. It was low tide this evening, but there were no gulls on the mud. This evening I saw two or three Nyctioryx mycticorax flying over the east end of Alameda. April 17, 1909. Alameda to San Francisco, California. There were a large number of curlew (?) and Symphonia semipalmata (?) on the marsh west of First Street this morning. Along the Mole, both this morning and evening, there were quite a few Scaups and Odenia perspicillata. This evening I saw Larus californicus, common, Larus philadelphia, a few, and Larus glauces- cens, one or two young, on the bay. The Larus philadelphia were black-headed. On the sand and in the shallow water near the mole there were this evening two or three Ardea herodias, Sandpipers, and larger shore birds. April 18, 1909. Alameda, California. Saw two Spinus pinus to-day and ales yesterday.
