Macrotus californicus
June 14 Palmar del Medio, 4mi ESE Pescadero, Baja Caly.
This was a mine with a moderately long
horizontal shaft about 6 feet high. Several
bats were flying in the entrance. Working
back to the end we found a small opening
to the outside, through which most of the
bats left, and a vertical shaft going down.
Some tried to go back past us, flying
straight and slowly. I went back toward
the mouth later and found that several
had re-entered. Twice more they returned
after being chased out. We caught 22
altogether, of which 7♂ and 2♀ were released.
June 22 8.3 mi N by road, Campole, Baja Caly.
Found several in a shallow but high
cave up on a lava hillside. Kept six.
