southbound high in the air. For the last Two evenings I have seen a Larus californicus sitting on the gilded ball on the top of a flag pole on the Alameda mole. February 25, 1909. Alameda to San Francisco, California. This morning at low tide I saw a lot of gulls on the sand along the mole. In the shallows were ten Ardea herodias, and a few ducks feeding. In deeper water ducks were very common, drakes Scaup Ducks being very much in evidence. Saw one Merganser serrator, drake, and believe I saw one a couple of days ago. This evening while coming down Clay Street, San Francisco, I saw a large flock of say forty cormorants flying south over the Bay; later when on the Steamer I saw a similar flock similarly bound. Larus glaucusceus, Common; Larus californicus, a few; the former mostly immature birds. Near Goat Island I saw an adult Larus brachyrhynchus flying. Along the mole a few ducks were seen. This morning I saw three Aechmophorus occidentalis in the water near the mole. February 26, 1909. Alameda to San Francisco, California.
