as before. In the evening we found quite
a change in the bat supply. Instead of large
numbers there were only scattered
pipistrelles, a few flying along the road
very early. Quite late I saw three larger
bats, probably Eptesicus. Boys brought me
2♀ Pipistrellus hesperus which they mangled
with sticks.
June 22 Same location
At about 5:00 this morning there were
quite a few pipistrelles feeding among
the trees behind the house - more than
eve saw last night.
It clouded up and sprinkled last night
and remained cloudy most of the morning.
Was also a very warm night - minimum 69°
We continued on our way again, looking
in several caves. One, about 8 miles north
of Canipos, had some Macrotus californicus.
It was a short distance up the hillside,
shallow, and with a high chimney like
ceiling. We kept six for a record.
Drove to Rancho Santa Rosalilito and
made camp.
June 22 Santa Rosalilito, 25+ ft., SE end Bahía Concepción
