February 12, 1909.
Aldmeda, California.
Several Zonotrichia leucophrys were seen
about the yard to-day.
At the foot of the street I saw half a
dozen Larus californicus, young and adult, flying.
I saw six ducks fly into San Leandro
Bay from the main bay.
February 13, 1909.
Alameda to San Francisco, California.
Along the seawall and mole I saw one or
two gulls, 1 good sized flock of ducks and
a number of stragglers, one Columbus
septentrionalis, and several AChrysophorus
occidentalis, these last near the end of
the mole.
On the return trip this evening gulls
(Larus californicus and Larus gladiaceus)
were common about the San Francisco
waterfront. I saw one riding on top of the
forward wheel house of an incoming steamer.
On the bay I saw a number flying and on
the water. I saw twenty three ducks in
2 flocks southbound high up. Eight cormorants passed south with usual flight,
A single Phalacrocorax auritus crossed our
bow southward bound, flying close to the
water in a perfectly straight line.
