There were quite a number of Larus californicus on
the water, particularly on the Alameda side.
March 21, 1907.
Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal.
Conditions: - Wind variable; rainy; cool.
Scaupducles and Oidemia perspicillata, both in
fine feather were some fairly common along the
shore. One or two Clangula clangula and
Oidemia deglandi were seen; the latter were
in brownish plumage, apparently old and
worn.
Larus glaucescens, immature birds, were very
common at both ends of the ferry on the piles
and sheds. Larus californicus, practically all
adults, were common.
March 22, 1907.
Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal.
Conditions: - Cool; southerly wind in evening, very
strong; rainy.
In the evening it was blowing half a gale, and
a great many gulls were observed on the water
between San Francisco and Goat Island.
