Alameda to San Francisco, Cal.
Along the mole and seawall a number
of ducks. One Aechmophorus occidentalis near
west end of mole. On the bay Larus californ-
iensis and Larus glaucescens the same as
yesterday.

Alameda to San Francisco, California.
Along the seawall and mole there were quite a number
of ducks. Off the seawall I recognized three or four
Oidemia perspicillata by the white patches on the back
of the head. One Aechmophorus occidentalis near mole.
On the bay adult Larus californicus far out-
numbered the immature Larus glaucescens. The former
species follows the steamers quite commonly. In
the morning I saw 2 small flocks of ducks flying
north east of Goat Island, and in the evening one
flying south, also a cormorant. In the morning
I saw a cormorant on a pile at the Alameda
Mole; it stood with wings outspread for sev-
eral minutes.
March 24, 1911.
Alameda to San Francisco, California.
Along Alameda mole in Oakland Creek I saw two ducks
and half a dozen or so California gulls. On the bay I
saw Larus glaucescens and Larus californicus in the usual
proportions. Off the San Francisco water front there were
two or three large flocks of gulls, chiefly Larus californicus,
