Conditions: - 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M. Warm; clear; west wind.
As I went down the street I noted a male and female baltimorean on a telephone wire. Suddenly another bird (probably a male) darted up and drove the male on the wire away. The successful male returned and perched on the wire. It opened its bill and made sort of a squealing noise, gradually edging up to the female. Finally they darted away, one in pursuit of the other.
Near Park St. I saw another humming bird on a telephone wire. Passerdomesticus were abundant.
I saw only three gulls off the seawall near 5th St.
Along the mole there were three or four hundred gulls - principally Larus occidentalis and Larus californicus. A few Ardea herodias were present, some flying as the train passed.
On the bay I saw Larus occidentalis, Larus californicus, and possibly Larus heermanni. The second species most abundant. Young birds of first two in dark plumage abundant.
San Francisco to Alameda, Cal.
Conditions: - 5:15 to 5:35 P.M. Clear; warm; west wind.
