May 26 El Carizalito, 1400a., 5 min. N. Santiago, Baja Calif.
Caught 1 young Neotoma lepida in the Schuylers which was discarded. The others
were untouched.
Last night Lewis netted 3 Corynorhinus
at the upper pool; a new record for this
area.
Again put up bats all day.
This evening went to the upper pool,
but found the bats far fewer, which was
also true of the other location. None attempted
to drink; rather seemed to feed several feet
above. Often they would circle away and
back several times. Usually there was
a single bat, sometimes 2 or 3, with
an interval of several minutes between.
Even pipistrelles didn't arrive at the
tank until 7:10 and began to fly later
than usual. Saw one very large bat at
about 7:30. There seems to be nothing in
the circumstances to explain the differential
other than the possibility of reducing
the population or frightening them away
from here. Caught only 1? Pipistrellus
hesperus, 1? Myotis californicus. Dr. Benson
cought one more Corynorhinus at the
other tank. The others got a few more
antrozous in the building.
