230 km NW Villa Hayes Dep't Pte Hayes, Paraguay.
There was slight breeze from the north.
1500 Hot. Very little todo. Strong N. wind. PM - netted
Clover under the tin roof again. But came out a
little late this evening - no catching until 7:50.
Is this due to my netting? There were lots out,
fluttering around the porch, at 7:35.
Petero Mandeuyi, 20 km SW km 205 of Trans-Paraguay
Highway, Dep't Pte Hayes, Paraguay
2600 This is a Petero m & Weiler's estancia. Beautifully
mantled - damp herb, lots of ground cover, largely
Grevillea, & palm grove savanna alternating with
high, deep forest. I found a number of bat roosts,
several of which looked promising. One gable end
had a hole about 15' off the ground which was
identical to one I had where we caught Noctilio
4 nights ago. Worm straight position at. The house
at the rear has corrugated tin planks sheets over
wooden planks, & it is loaded with bats. During
the hot part of the day some leave the space between
the planks & enter a dark room, staying near
the beams in the ceiling. I make out at least
3 species - the small black mystis, the medium
gray mystis & the medium gray Molasser, similar to
similar to what we saw under the roof at 250 km.
The mystis are all clustered together, the
single Molasser is apart. Near the house is
a 'Para todo' tree (yellow flowered leguminaceae)
