Big Brown Bat
(Eptesicus fuscus)
22 may
Doner's Camp, Granite Mountains (near
Kelso), San Bernardino co., CA.
Claudia Luke and several other UCB
graduate students set up mist nets at
night to catch bats. In an hour between
checking the nets (~ 2100 PST) we had
caught five Big Brown Bats. We took them
out of the nets and put them on the
ground to fly away when they were ready.
Some of them flew away after just a few
minutes and some crawled around a little
and flew away after about ten minutes.
Before the Big Brown Bats were caught,
they had caught and released three western
Pipistrelles.
