240ct Temp in shade outside is 41.5°c (108°F). Hole
is chased, I believe that at & efforts have been
made in the past to burn that out.
Found several otter quaalaha with
suspicious hole one had a pile of fat droppings on
the ground below. Set nets over river in
a place seen the Indian toldo where the river is
about 100m across. I put a 60' net post out
from a point, & a 30' net intersecting a bay.
In most places the water was more than they'd
deep so setting was not possible & I was not too
happy about the placement of the nets.
Bats started flying at 7:30, air Temp. 93°F. Sun
set at 7:00 P. Caught a molossis right away,
then late 2 Noctilio labiellii & one of the gray
Myotis. Nothing more. Lot of birds -
ine large water fowl, & a flock of 23 roseate
spoonbills. Numerous flocks of ducks flew
by at dusk - 20 or 30 ducks in all mostly in
20's & 30's.
At 9:30 I saw a crab eating corn
along the shore. There are lot of frogs & it
seemed to be stalking them. Despite my
light & my proximity (50') it happily
went about its business. Lot of
small crocodile in water also. Gave
up in disgust at 10 PM air temp 86°F.
Almost no wind at first, fly 10
