OCT 17 1904 Alameda, bal. to San Francisco, bal. 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M. Conditions: - Rather cold; north wind; clear. In a tree near a window were perched two Zonotrichia leucophrys this morning when I got up. Passer domesticus was abundant in town. Near the roundhouse I saw an Ardea herodias standing on a post. Along the seawall I noted 3 or 4 flocks of about 10 grebes each. On the bay Larus californicus and Larus delawarensis were common. I counted nine flocks of ducks averaging 10 birds to a flock. All but 3 or 4 birds were going north, and these were headed south. With the exception of one or two cases the birds flew high. Evidently they had been disturbed by the army of hunters which has invaded the marsh during the last two days. I saw one Phalacrocorax going down the bay.
