Alameda to San Francisco, California.
This morning the tide was very low, and
on some sandspits well to the west of Alameda
and just south of the mole I saw quite a few
gulls. In the water I saw two Ardea
herodias fishing.

Alameda to San Francisco, California.
The tide was very low this morning when
I went to the city. At Seventh Street Station I
observed quite a number of gulls on the
sand at the water's edge. Along the
seawall I saw three or four Nycticorax
nycticorax fishing in the tidal pools. One
Ardea herodias was in the shallow water
along the mole.

This morning I saw a flock of about a
dozen curlew or godwit near the roundhouse.
During the past two weeks I have seen a
few gulls, Ardea herodias, and Nycticorax
nycticorax while on the trains.
July 2, 1909.
This morning and yesterday I noted Larus
occidentalis and Larus hermanni while
crossing the bay. The birds which I saw from
inside the steamer were adults.
