the mole, despite the weather; they appear to
be mostly scoters.
When going down the mole on the train

Note: On the tenth I saw a Junco hyemalis
in Golden Gate Park, and on Christmas Day I
saw several wild Lophortyx californicus which
were quite tame.
Yesterday morning, as the steamer entered the slip
on the San Francisco side, I noticed a good
many Larus glaucescens on the roofs of the wharves
and shed as well as on the piles.

On the bay I saw one scoter, southbound,
About twenty Larus glaucescens and two or
three Larus californicus followed the steamer,
The Larus glaucescens were mostly immature,
