22. February 17, 1909. Alameda to San Francisco, California. When going to San Francisco this morning I saw two large flocks of ducks off the southwest corner of Alameda. There were very few along the mole. Along the edge of the marsh at the west end of Alameda I saw several Ardea herodias; it was high tide. I saw a gull on the top of the beach near the roundhouse. I saw an Archmophorus occidentalis in the water near the mole. This evening when returning I saw a number of Larus glaucescens and Larus californicus on the bay. Near Goat Island two Phalacrocorax auritus passed us southbound. A few ducks were seen on the water along the mole. When at West Alameda Station I saw a flock of gulls, about twenty in number, proceeding southward high in the air. February 18, 1909. Alameda to San Francisco, California. Off the seawall I saw a large flock of ducks this morning. A number of stragglers were seen both here and along the mole, also one Archmophorus occidentalis.
