May 25 El Carrizalito, 1400 ft., 5 mi N San Diego, Baja Calif.
Fewer, but still came in several at a time. By then were not drinking as much
as before and often flew several feet above
the water. Two flash lights shining over
the pool did not seem to disturb them, but
a Coleman lantern nearby drove them
away. Placing the lantern about 15 feet
up the hill gave bright illumination, yet
the bats flew up readily.
Found Bufo punctatus very common
around the pool and also all over on
the ground. Near the water they languidly
swam, and perched on the side. Several
were mating. They had arrived from all
directions well before dark. I slowly
advanced my fingers toward one on the
edge and it leaped onto it, repeating the
reaction several times in a row. This
I wasn't sure I could interpret.
Returning to the building found just
a few bats, and these more excitable.
Caught 1 Antrozous in an upstairs room
and 1 flying back and forth in the hall.
My total catch at the pool was 1♀ Myotis
californicus, 1♂ Lasionycteris noctivagans, 1♂ Eptesicus
fuscus, 2♂ 3♀ Myotis californicus, 7♂ Pipistrellus hesperus.
