Alameda, bal. to San Francisco, bal. Time: - 7:00 A.M., to 8:00 A.M. Conditions: - Overcast & raining; very strong S.E. wind; high sea. Saw only two or three ducks along the mole, several gulls in flight low over the water. On the Bay there was a good many Larus glaucous and Larus Californicus following the boat. Just after I had left the mole, a flock of cormorants, about 10 passed going S.E. We saw a few ducks in flight. At High Street Station, I saw a few ducks & gulls pass quite low over the houses; they were going S.E. Jan. 2, 1905. [illegible] The following ducks were brought by hunters from Coyote hills, Alameda, bo.: - Anas boschas; Nettion carolinensis; Spatula clypeata; Dafila acuta, and Mareca americana. Jan. 9, 1905. During the past week golden-eyes have been abundant along the mole during the past week. They do not seem to fear the train, as not many fly when it passes.
