This morning I saw a Larus philadelphia near Goat Island. There were lots of Larus glaucescens about; many following the steamers. Three were seen riding on the forward part of the lower deck of the "Piedmont," while two others were taking their ease on the after flag poles. December 10, 1907. [illegible] to San Francisco, Cal. Conditions: - Southwest wind; rain. There were a large number of gulls going westward over the city this evening about 5:10. December 15, 1907. Alameda to and from San Francisco, Cal. Conditions: - Cold; rainy in forenoon; overcast; southerly wind. Went to the city on the 9:40 A.M. train. Returned on the 2:10 P.M. steamer. When I returned I saw along the mole a few distant ducks, also several hunters. On the land exposed by the retreating tide there were a couple of hundred gulls, pretty well spread out. A small to compact flock of a dozen- or a score of sandpipers were seen on the sand among them. Larus philadelphia. Three or four on the Alameda side of the bay, one on the water. Larus californicus. Four or five adults. One or two young ones. One adult on pile.
