Ducks were common along the mole. As the steamer was leaving a few cormorants passed to the south. I also saw a few ducks and loons going in the same direction. One loon was seen passing to the south. Larus glaucuscens was abundant. As usual the flagpoles were occupied most of the time. I saw one Larus argentatus, a young bird. Its breast had large patches of white intermingled with the darker markings characteristic of young birds. Larus californicus, three or four. Larus canus or Larus brachyrhynchus common west of Goat Island. In the evening the same remarks apply, except for Larus argentatus. One grebe and two ducks were seen off Goat Island. Two ducks were seen along the mole. FEB 16 1905 San Leandro Bay, Alameda, Cal. 7:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. Conditions :- North by east wind; cool; raining. The following birds were observed:- Gavia.
