4. Jan. 8, 1907. Alameda, bal. Conditions: - 7:30 A.M. cold; raining, S.E. wind. Off the south shore near Webster St. Station I saw two or three hundred ducks on the water; they were quite close in. I saw a flock of fifteen or twenty Arthya valliniera close to the mole; also a few ducks further out. I road inside the steamer owing to the extreme cold, hence I saw no birds on the way to San Fran- cisco. Jan. 9, 1907. Alameda, bal. Conditions: - S.E. wind; moderate temperature; overcast. Saw an Ardea herodias on marsh near borax works. The tide was very high. Along the mole I saw only a few ducks and one Larus glaucescens flying. Jan. 10, 1907. Alameda to San Francisco, bal. Conditions: - S.E. wind; moderate temperature; overcast. I rode inside the steamer, but noted three or four Larus glaucescens fly by the window. Jan. 11, 1907. Alameda to San Francisco, bal.

Along the south shore of Alameda and along the mole ducks were not common, only a few stragglers and one or two small flocks being seen.
