Pipistrellus hesperus
May 17 Jimeno, 1700 ft., Baja California
Fly early before dusk, and ceasing before
dark. Shot 2 (see journal)
May 19 Same location
By now the pipistrelles have disappeared
although larger bats seem about as common
May 28 El Carrizalito, 1400 ft., 5 mi N Santiago, Baja Calif.
Have found them quite common here. Each
night, stationed at a concrete water tank have netted
several. They start flying at about 6:30, high
at first and then lower to feed. Many come
over the pool but only part to drink. They
cease to appear at about 8:00. (see journal
May 24-28)
May 29 El Chorro, 800 ft., 2 mi W Agua Caliente (Cape District)
Many flying at dusk here. Shot 18 (see journal)
June 7 La Teraya, 5 mi SE Punta Gasparina (cap dist.) Baja Calif.
Several flying in the canyon here, mostly
over the mesquites and other bushes and not
far from a small pool at which we were
hunting bats. Shot 28.
June 11 La Laguna, 6200 ft., Sierra de la Laguna, Baja Calif.
A little scarce here, as are all bats. They
start flying fairly late and feed over the bare
laguna. Shot 18.
July 14 CatauiƱa, 1850 ft., Baja Calif.
Many flew at dusk, yet not many came
to water. Shot 47
