gulls on the water off Goat Island. Along the mole there were quite few ducks or grebes. A flock of 9 OCT 26 1904 Alameda, Cal. to San Francisco, Cal. 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M. Conditions:- Foggy; rather cold; light wind. I saw a good many grebes along the mole. Many would dive as the train passed. Larus californicus was very common on the bay; Larus delawarensis not so much so. These gulls still continue to follow the steamers. There were a good many gulls & ducks, mostly scoters on the water. Scoters and other ducks were seen passing south occasionally. I saw about 50 ducks passing south in one a flock. A few others straggled along. A few were passing north. I have seen gulls quite abundant on the roofs of the dock sheds during the last two weeks. San Francisco, Cal. to Alameda, Cal. Time:- 4:46 P.M. to 5:48 P.M. Conditions:- Clear above; moderate temperature; no wind.
