Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal.
Conditions: - Moderate Temperature; quite clear, a little
fog near mole in morning.
I noted a flock of gulls near the mole this
morning.
In the evening I came home at 4:45, and the
gulls had not yet gone to roost. Larus glaucescens
mostly young birds, were observed flying about the
steamers. One or two immature Larus californicus
were noted.
Along the mole in the evening a few ducks
were noted, some standing on sand in shallow
water. Those close by appeared to be blue-bills.

slip at 5:30, there was an adult Oidemia perspicillata
which had to move quite lively to escape.
There were a few Larus glaucescens on the pilings
Alameda mole and a good many in similar positions
on the San Francisco side. Only an occasional adult
was observed on the bay. Several adult Larus oc-
cidentalis were observed flying apart from the other
