Murray 1948 75 Journal May 20 G mi ESE San Antonio, 1200 ft, Baja California driven out there flew in at our end. It would be impossible to accurately estimate the number present but it was enormous for one bat location. We drove on a few more miles and camped for the night beside the road. Many of the bats caught died from being packed into sacks. 1 Hand elf owls tonight and Guest shot 2. May 21 Same location. Put up 20 Macroscotus californicus and 20 Septonycteris among us, released some and discarded others. When we awoke this morning just after dawn there was a loud chorus of white-winged dove calls, with some gila woodpeckers also. Drove on through about the same kind of country, some of it rather flat, and dominated by lumbioi, Palo Brazil, copals and other dry bushy plants. Came to Buena Vista on the coast where we made camp under some mesquites at the Rancho Buena Vista. Working in this locality is William? Massey of the University archeology department. We had already met him when we were at Triunfo.
