230 km NW Villa Hayes by rd, Dept Pto
Hayes, Paraguay.
28 Jan Clear & hot & windy. Max temp ~40°C.
cought one Myotis in bedroom behind a
picture frame. Started flying in mid afternoon
which drew our attention to him. Also
saw another which we couldn't get too
like - they may be roosting solitarily or in
small groups around the building. Also
met the America - like lizards. Bright
blue & yellow on the belly, lighter green
on the back. These are very common both
in the marsh & in the drier areas.
The capité's showed us a & samayú (?) ( Palo
barracho ) with a completely hollowed
base. Dropping 6" deep at base. This is no
roost where they used to burn set the bat.
Mbo' py'tá - probably Noctilio leporinus.
The first time they burned it they got 324 bat,
he said last time burned was ~6 months ago.
Smells like N. leporinus, but I couldn't see
anything. 2 nets up, by the Noctilio roost,
I netted in October. The lowe one, which
crawled Noctilio & a reddish Myotis yielded
only 2 N. leporinus & 1 N. leporinus.
The
second roost which I also produced
many N. leporinus in October, this time
produced only & that w/o bassily - about 10.
