LIDICKER 1969 the shore late & preparing for large-scale techniques. Walked with a few boats & caught by ornithologists in mist nets, at Samphi (13 mi. N Makary). WL # 3011 has large coconut-shaped gland on throat. Worked into evening late getting two brown mephitics & skinning two bats. 19 July Went with Bill Peckars to check mist nets just N & S side of Ma'ina. Caught 3 Rousettas + 2 Syconyctis. Then went with him to Samphi to see that area. Processed 4 bats after lunch. Griffins arrived back from Highlands & Rod Suther (U. Illinois). Talked with them. Watched for bats 1815-1845. Saw several small owls, partially Pipistrellus + 1 large bat that emerged from a hole in a coconut palm & flew downward & away. Checked last nets just E & settled (N2030) after dinner with Suthers; caught only 1 sea bird. Worked with Griffin & Suther with a Rousettas in their flight cage. 20 July Ate breakfast, Griffin, Suther & checked mist nets N & S side of Ma'ina. Trapped 8 Rousettas including 1 older # (WL # 3019) + 1 Syconyctis female (#3020). Then went to Samphi with Peckars to check bats then. No bats (only 1 was left after all night). Skinned bats, sealed 2 which I found frozen in refrigerator.
