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.

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.
