Conditions: - Somewhat overcast; warm; N.E. wind. Just as we were getting into the slip on the other side this morning, I saw a few Larus glaucescens and one Larus argentatus on the piles. This evening while the boat was waiting in the slip there were a good many Larus californicus (? ? ?) and Larus glaucescens fly- migabout. Saw one Larus argentatus. The steamer Berkeley came in followed by a great many gulls, apparently Larus glaucescens. A good many of this species passed around our boat as we went across. I was on the forward deck, hence don't know how many birds were following us. Off the S.W. end of Goat Island we came across a few Larus californicus. Off the E. end there were several large flocks of Aythya marila, amounting to between two and three hundred individ- uals. These of course got up as the boat approached. Eight Phala- crocorax passed us, going S.E. Along the mole I saw one small grebe and several Colongula clangula. There were two or three herons, Ardea herodias in the shallow water. I Block of about one hundred gray (?) geese passed over the house at about 4:00 P.M. going north-west. I FEB - 4 1905 Alameda, Cal. to and from San Francisco, Cal.
