Alameda to San Francisco, California.
Along the seawall this morning there were
several (Oedemia perspicillata, the males being
very conspicuous. Along the mole I saw
a flock of nine Aristonetta valisneria, ap-
parently all females, they were bunched close
together on the water. There were a number
of Scaups and Scoters along the mole both
this morning and this evening. This evening
there were a good number of gulls on the
sand exposed along the mole.
This evening I noticed a few immature Larus
glancecens on the piles and flying about
near the Ferry Building. Adult Larus californicus
were the gulls most the evidence. On the bay
I saw a loon (or a grebe?) flying north low
over the water. One Larus philadelphia near the mole.
This morning when feeding the geese I saw
several cormorants pass over flying in a south-
westerly direction.
