March 1, 1910.
Alameda to San Francisco, Cal.
Conditions: Moderate temperature; A. M.; foggy.
This morning I saw a number of ducks
and several Ardea herodias close to the mole.
On the piling at the pier there were twenty
or thirty gulls, Larus argentatus and Larus
californicus being recognized.
March 2, 1910.
San Francisco, California.
To-day was beautiful — warm and clear and
not windy. While on the ferry boat this evening
I saw the following gulls while the steamer
was slipping: All were
Larus occidentalis. I saw two or three fine
adults white flying off a little ways from
the slip.
Larus argentatus. Three or four immature
ones. They roost on the piling also.
Larus californicus. One immature one.
Larus glaucescens. Common. All immature.
After we had gotten in the vicinity of
Goat Island I saw a beautiful adult Larus
glaucescens on the water. An immature
Larus canus flew by, as well as several Larus
glaucescens. One of the latter rode on one
of the forward flag poles for about a mile.
This morning I saw a grebe while the tram
was passing down the mole. Several scoters this evening.
