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.
