March 5, 1909. Alameda to San Francisco, California. Along the seawall and mole this morning ducks were scattering, several Aristonetta valis- neria were in the fright near the roundhouse, and Scamp ducks and Scoters were seen all along the mole. One O'dennia perspicillata was recognized. Several Scamp ducks were right up to the beach feeding. About one hundred gulls were on the water in the light. I saw one Cormorant in the water near the west end of the mole. This evening there were a large number of Larus glaucus and Larus [illegible] (adults) about the Ferry Bldg, S.F. They were over a lot of debris; Larus californicus were by far the more numerous. Along the mole (low tide) the following were seen: Gulls, abundant on sands pits; ducks, scattering, large flock in shallow water, three or four asleep upon sand; one cormorant; one Aechmophorus occidentalis; several Ardea herodias. March 6, 1909. Alameda to San Francisco, California. Gulls and ducks were observed the same as usual both in the morning and evening. I saw one Aechmophorus occidentalis in the morning. High tide in morning, low tide in afternoon.
