This evening I saw the usual Larus
glanceceens, and Larus californicus on
the bay, immature birds of the former
being common on the piles where they
kept up quite a squabbling.
On the east side of the bay I saw
several terns (Sterna forsteri?) flying
south, also two or three loons and one
Phalacrocorax auritus. One grebe in water.
Along the mole I saw two or three
flocks of ducks on the water, and
an Ardea herodias on the sand.

Alameda to San Francisco, California.
This morning I saw four or five
flocks of ducks on the water along the
seawall and mole, also two or three grebes.
On the right near the roundhouse I saw
eight Larus glanceceens and Larus cali-
ifornicus on the sand.
This evening about 5:45 I saw
a good many gulls, chiefly Larus
glanceceens (young) and a few Larus
californicus near the San Francisco
Ferry Building. Some were picking
up refuse and uttering their shrill cries.
