Myotis velifer
May 28 El Carrizalito, 1400 ft., 5 mi N San Diego, Baja Calif.
Caught 1 with a net over a concrete tank
full of water. The tank is one of two, 10 feet
across and about 1 foot above the ground.
The bats come in numbers over it at dusk
and for a while after dark. (see journal)
May 31 Santa Anita, 250 ft., (Cape District), Baja Calif.
Found a clump hanging in the corner
of an empty room in a closed up building.
Apparently they also extended back into
a crack there. Did not keep any
In the evening shot 1 flying by the
dense palms and mangoz and a ditch with
a little water.
June 16 mi N San José del Cabo, 250 ft., Baja Calif.
Shot 1 at dusk by camp on a sandy flat.
There is a small hill nearby with many
large granite outcroppings and a ditch
with water.
June 4 Same location
Went up the hillside where Dr. Benson
had seen bats enter a crack early this
morning. Found a large rounded granite
exfoliation outcropping with an exfoliating
piece which left a crack of about 3/4" in
it were about 10 bats, several of which we
caught and found to be velifer. One was Tadarida
temorosa and 2 others may have been Tadarida mexicana
(see journal)
