south and four north. East of Goat Island I saw a dozen southward bound. Before me reached the mole a Cormorant flew over the bldg. going south. Two Larus philadelphia were seen flying separately near mole. Along the mole on the great expanse of sand a few ducks and gulls were seen near the water's edge, while I saw what looked to be two Scamp Ducks on the water, also one or two gulls and several small gobs, five hunched together. Jan. 2, 1908. Alameda to San Francisco, Cal. Conditions: - bleak; moderate temperature; no wind; 7:40 to 8:25 A.M. Off the seawall between Fifth St. and West Alameda Stations I saw a loon flying; some hunters were seen but no birds on the water. Off at a considerable distance from the mole I saw two large flocks of ducks on the water, and in closer a few straggling ducks, grebes, and gulls, and one or two cormorants. Several Larus glauciscens were sitting on the dome of the mole where the boat comes under. Immature and adult Larus californicus and Larus glauciscens were noted all the way across, being commonest on the San Francisco side, Larus glauciscens being well in the majority. Several Larus canus or Larus brachyrhynchus were on the water in front of the Berry Building. The usual number of gulls, nearly all Larus glauciscens, and mostly immature birds, were seen on the piles and sheds.
