February 1, 1909. Alameda to San Francisco, California. 7:30 to 8:30 A.M. Moderate temperature; S wind. Along the seawall there were three or four large flocks of ducks, mostly scoters, on the water; one flock arose as the train passed. Along the shore were few ducks. One or two Scamp ducks were recognized. On the bay I saw two flocks of ducks of about 30 each flying south high in the air. Larus glaucescens and Larus californicus followed the steamer in the usual proportions. This evening about 5:45 I saw a few gulls about the San Francisco ferry slips although it was nearly dark; one or two were also seen when crossing the bay. February 2, 1909.
