March 18, 1911.
Alameda Mole to San Francisco, California.
This morning I saw a cormorant on an outstanding
pile at the mole. This evening I saw one flying south-
east high in the air when the steamer was just east of
Goat Island. Large number of gulls on mud at end
of mole. In the morning I saw two ducks north bound,
and in the evening a loon got up out of the water & few more.
Only immature Larus glaucaceus and
mostly adult Larus californicus are to be
seen. The latter follows the ferry boats
more abundantly than the former. The
chief rendezvous of the former seemed to be
the piles on the San Francisco side.
On the morning and evening I saw a few
ducks off the seawall in the water; scaup ducks
recognized.

This morning there were a good Larus californicus
adults on the mud near the round house. Along the
seawall and mole a few ducks. Two O Edema degodi
and one Ochomorphorus occidentalis seen. On the Bay
many adult Larus californicus and not so many immature
Larus glaucaceus.
