Just after leaving Alameda mole I saw two flocks of ducks or guse of about 30 each flying northward very high in the air in V-formation. On the San Francisco side there evere number of gulls of both the above species on the water, some in shelter of the piles. I saw three Glanceous-winged Gulls stand- ing on the piles, all facing to windward with heads close to shoulders and tails held horizontally. Nov. 20, 1907, Alameda to San Francisco, cal. Conditions: - cold; morning; clear; light winds. Larus glanccescens and Larus californicus on day and along mole. Two cormorants going northward. Several ducks going southward yesterday morning. Along the mole this morning I saw- a few Clangula clangula and one or two small grebes. The Golden-eyes, although at a great dis- tance from the mole, flew as train passed.
