7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M. and 5:15 P.M. to 5:40 P.M. Conditions: - cool; S.W. wind; somewhat overcast. Along the seawall and mole there were quite a few ducks— two or three hundred. Those close to the mole appeared to be mostly Clangula clangula; they were in one compact flock. On the San Francisco side I saw a few Larus glaucescens and one Larus argentatus as the boat entered the slip. Near the ferry slip in the evening Larus glaucescens was common; one young Larus argentatus on a pile; Larus canus or Larus brachyrhynchus common. On the trip across I saw a few Larus grauescens and Larus californicus. The former were flying about the boat, the latter were over the water. Off Goat Island I saw a bird on the water apparently a rooster; it dived as the steamer approached. A few ducks passed, some south and some north. There were a few ducks along the mole; off the seawall was a flock of about one hundred and fifty. FEB - 5 1905 The following birds were seen among those brought in by hunters yesterday and to-day.
