128. Alameda to San Francisco, cal. Conditions: - Clear; moderate temperature; no wind. Along the mole at high tide this morning there were about a hundred Larus californicus, and a few scattering clangula clangula all of which flew up as the train passed, some alighting a little further on. I rode inside the ferry steamer until close to San Francisco; when off Goat Island. I saw two or three terns going southward. S.W. of Goat Island several Larus philadelphia were seen, and closer to the city Larus californicus was common. Among the latter there were a few Larus glauciscens, adult and young. Standing on the piles, S. F. side, I saw two young Larus glauciscens and one young Larus argentatus. This evening I saw two cormorants going northward. Five mornings ago I saw a clangula clangula among the gulls near the mole. Flew up as the train passed.
