4021; Æx galericulata & Aviary, Alameda, Cal.; Jan. 9, 1910; C.A.S. No. 16177.
January 11, 1910.
San Francisco, California.
This morning when on Bush St. near
Lough about eleven o'clock saw four
Larus glaucescens (immature) flying in an
easterly direction towards the bay.
January 12, 1910.
This morning I saw a flock of about thirty
sandpipers in the light near the round
house, Alameda, Cal. There were several
flocks of ducks flying and large flocks
on the water along the mole.
Larus glaucescens is the predominant gull.
This morning I saw a dozen or so on
the piles close to the building on the south
side of Alameda Pier.
January 14, 1910.
This morning there was a flock of about
forty sandpipers on the beach near the
roundhouse. On the water south of the
mole there were several large flocks of
ducks, all too distant to be identified.
While standing in the back yard at 3256
Briggs Avenue this morning, I saw a pair
of ducks flying over the eastern end of town,
my attention being attracted to them by
the whistling of their wings. They were
flying high.
