San Leandro Bay and sloughs and south shore Bay
Farm Island, Alameda Co., Cal.
Tulls. Two or three large gulls,
Arenaria interpres. One in San Leandro Bay, three
or four on south side of island.
Eguatarola helvetica. A few. One fine black-
bellied individual.
Argidælus semifalmatus. Three or four. The quick
jerky fashion in which they feed is very noticeable,
The bird coming back to its original standing position
after each peck with its beak, and pausing a
moment before making the next peck.
