One or two Blangula clangula have been observed
yesterday and to-day, in addition to the usual
ducks and gulls on the south side of the mole.
This evening I saw a large flock of
Larus glaucescens hovering over the water in
front of the Ferry Building. Two Larus canus
or Larus brachyrynchus were seen at a distance on the bay. One adult Larus glaucescens was noted on the water this morning.
Larus californicus are mostly all adult. One cormorant seen flying.

Alameda to and from San Francisco, bal.
The weather is still warm and delightful.
Along the mole in the morning I noticed
considerable numbers of ducks, those close to
the mole being Aristonetta valisneria (males and
females) and Scaup Ducks. In the evening
the tide was low, and gulls, ducks, and one
or two Ardea herodias were seen. Two or three
mornings ago I saw a Nycticorax nycticorax
flying in a northeasterly direction over Alameda.
Larus glaucescens (immature) and a few Larus californicus are seen about this piers and buildings on the San Francisco side. I observed a
young Larus californicus standing on the pier
this evening with several young Larus
glaucescens.
