Jan. 3, 1908. Alameda to San Francisco, bal. Conditions:- 7:46 to 8:25 A.M.; SE wind; overcast; cool. The tide was quite high, and in fairly close to the mole were several gulls and ducks, among the latter blangula clangula was recognized. Half a dozen ducks were seen flying northward high in the air. On the San Francisco side gulls were noted the same as yesterday. This evening when going down to the ferry a little before 5 o'clock, a few were seen flying westward over the city. An hour or so earlier they were reported as common. At about 5:06 one gull was seen on the piles at the Ferry Depot; it was then about dark about dusk. On the way across an occasional gull flew by the vessel, all heading westward. This morning no gulls were seen while passing through town. Jan. 6, 1908. Alameda to San Francisco, bal. Conditions:- 7:40 to 8:25 A.M.; light wind; clear; cool. The usual birds were the same as noted along the mole and on the bay. When going down the mole I saw two flocks of about eight scoters each, flying northwest. One flock was of Oedemia deglandi, the other of Oedemia perspicillata. Jan. 8, 1908. Alameda to San Francisco, bal.
