halls and in one room upstairs. All seemed
stupid and unresponsive and sometimes
permitted a net to be pounded over them
without moving. I caught 2 G19 and Ouest
and Dr. Benson 4 each. In one small
downstairs room there were several
Macrotus californicus which shrewdly
eluded capture through the door and
two small windows. Lewis caught about
15 Pipistrellus hesperus and Myotis
californicus with a net over one of
the water tanks.
We worked late putting up the Natalus.
May 25 Same location
Worked on bats most of the day, then
set out 13 Schuyler traps for skunks and
Bassariscus which are supposed to be
plentiful here. Saw no sign however. There
were a number of woodrat nests which
I avoided for the most part. All the traps
were among the large rocks on the hillside,
mostly in a small draw. Saw hooded owles,
plumbeous grnatchers, Mexican ground doves.
This evening tried out a net at the bottom
water tank. It is 10 feet across, almost
flush with the ground on the upper side
and about 1 1/2 ft. high on the lower side
