Recoleta, Asunción, Paraguay
3 Nov
Vampyrops (which died & was put up) released. Vampyrops-
released: 14 preg, 14 lar, & 19 molk.
There are
4 Eptesius. Was low, the way was wide open &
bleady. Postpartum? Net opened all right, caught the
Eptesius right after dark, checked for last time
at 10:30, still 4 Vampyrops were in net at 6:30AM.
Nov 4
Same net. North dry 11 PM. Eptesius, 1 Vampyrops,
& 1 Antilena, at 6:30 AM.
Nov 5
same net, plus 2 enclosing the beam on
the porch under which bat droppings
appear. Caught 4 Eptesius (worn out) at
7:30 warm (85°), rain threatening. Also
can't get no Antilena 'about 1/2 mile mangos
1.6 km NE of the Gral Genera Ave San Martin
in Asunción, Paraguay. Isla de Francia.
11 Nov.
70°. Had been cloudy during day, but
cleared & turned cool humid St. Iago.
4 nets. Caught 1 Eptesius & 1 Sturmius. Lots
flying all high. This seems a poor place
to set - lots of bat, but nothing to
drive them low enough to net. There are
a number of trees blooming - at least 5 carapiceros
species. So far only the papayas have ripe
fruit.
12 Nov
Returned in 4 PM to rob honey from a
stingless bee nest. The nest looked
like one of the large black termite nests.
