February 3, 1911.
Alameda to San Francisco, california.
Rainy.
Along the seawall and mole I saw a few ducks
and one or two grebes.
On February 1 I saw a small hawk on top
of a flag staff on a building at the corner of
Sansome and Sacramento Streets, San Francisco.

steamers - Larus glaucous, Larus californicus and
Larus argentatus.
