Aug 13 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif.
at least 10 minutes before any thus far.
Might be Myotis californicus. The others,
which have all been Myotis yumanensis
(or evotis), all start when darkness
is well underway. Tonight noted that
they first appear all together at the
tops of several spruce trees next to the
lagoon. For several minutes remain high,
then drop lower and spread out over
the lagoon (that part which extends
inland next to camp and is filled
with logs) to feed.
