Jan. 18, 1908. Alameda to San Francisco, bal. conditions:- 7:40 to 8:25 A.M.; SE wind; rainy; moderate temperature. On the water south of the mole I saw the usual flocks of ducks too far off to be identified. As the train passed down the mole a fine male Aris- totetta palisineria paddled away from the rocks in alarm; apparently it was a wounded bird. Larus glaucescens and Larus californi- cus followed the steamer in the usual pro- portion. Over a passing steamer I noted about fifty sailing in the air. Around a warship could be seen a perfect swarm of them. On the piles were quite a number of young Larus glaucescens, although not as many as yester- day morning. In the morning I saw one gull flying over High Street Station in a southeasterly direction. During the day I noted one flying westward over the city. Jan. 19, 1908. Alameda to and from San Francisco, bal. conditions:- 9:40 A.M. to 12:30 P.M.; overcast; souther ly wind; moderate temperature. Ducks were scarcer along the mole, only one or two flocks being seen on the water south of the mole. One or two ducks were seen flying.
