There has been much rain in the last 2 weeks. Over 90mm fell here, including 35mm on Dec 6. Things in general look a little greener, there is standing water in many places, the most of the fields are still dry. The mosquitoes & no-see-ums are thick, to be counted in # per exposed in². There are frogs in most of the ponds...lots of chemi-like lizards running around (saw in Oct.) & lost several fresh tayuquesci skins, hanging in the cowboy quarters. Netted the most on the porch. I completely enclosed the area with 4 nets. First bats appeared late around 8:30. Initial burst of activity petered out in 1/2 hr or so. Since this time & until 9:30 we were sitting near the nets. At 9:30
