November
  Lophodytes cucullatus: On the afternoon of the 20th I had
 a good view through my glass of a [female] that was swimming
in the Pond in the midst of a great raft of Black Ducks.
  Larus a. [argentatus] smithsonianus. whenever the weather was calm & rather
mild Herring Gulls resorted to Fresh Pond in greater numbers
than I have ever seen there before, but few or none alighted
there on cold, windy days. They came to the Pond from
the eastward as well as southward and usually at a great
height, not all together but in a straggling flight or procession
which lasted for an hour or two in the morning when they
were almost constantly in sight over our garden. If the 
wind rose during the day most of them at once started
back but if the weather remained calm the return flight
would not begin much before sunset. Lothrop tells me
that none of them ever remain in the Pond over night.
My count was as follows: [Nov] 25: 15, [Nov] 28: 400, [Nov] 27: 770, [Nov] 30: 240.
  Larus glaucus: One seen in Fresh Pond on the 29th (cf detailed
notes under this date).
