Passer domesticus was of course in evidence. Along the seawall and along the mole, grebes were very common, also a few ducks. There were a good many gulls and two loons off the mole. Just before the boat left a cormorant alighted on an outlying pile. Larus californicus and Larus delawarensis were very common. A pair of ducks passed to the south, flying very low over the water. Four or five passed to the north. San Francisco, Cal. to Alameda, Cal. 5:15 P.M. to 5:45 P.M.
