May 17 Trin, 1700 ft., Baja California
Cenesa.
This evening shot 2 Pipistrellus and
2 Eptesicus fuscus. Dr. Benson got
a Lasiurus blossevsii. The Pipistrelles started
flying while it was still bright light and
stopped before dark. Several dove at
me in the manner of those at Rancho
Cadaje. Cloudy today and a little cooler.
May 18 Same location
Failed to mention that yesterday morning
we arose to find that most of the bats had
eaten their way out, leaving us holding
the bag.
Traps caught 3 Perognathus spinatus
(1?, 2?).
Lizards are very common here,
seeming to be out mostly in the morning
before the heat becomes great. Cnemidophorus
hypemithus is common everywhere, and
Cnemidophorus tessellatus and Callisaurus
draconoides generally along fences.
There are some Dipsozaurus dorsalis
of which Dr. Benson shot one and gave it
to me. I shot a Cnemidophorus tessellatus,
which are exceedingly large here.
Today saw a hooded oriole, gila
woodpecker, and heard white-winged dove
