ducks were seen flying southward, and two Cormorants going northwards, the latter close to the water. Nov. 13, 1907, Alameda to San Francisco, cal. Conditions:-- Moderate temperature; clear; light winds. Although it was high tide this morning there were quite a few gulls on the water beside the mole. They appeared to be Larus cali- fornius. On the bay southwest of Goat Island I came out on deck; gulls were common, mostly Larus californicus, many being adults, and several Larus philadelphia. A small flock of ducks was seen going southward, as usual quite high in the air; two cormo- rants passed oceanward close to water. Yesterday morning there were gulls along the mole just as this morning. Half way down the mole was a cormorant sitting on a rock at the top of the scannell close to the passing. Saw a flock of ducks on bay going southward.
