Myers Phil 1974 Journal 47 Red Barn, National Seashore lighthrs, 1 mile Olema, Marin Co, Calif. 1 May Went over in A.M. Trip bat die-off. Pecked up about 30 dead bats on floor which added to those picked up by forest service people (Dick Brown) on April 24 equal over 70 bats (75) mostly Myotis stgy yumanaensis. 1 Antrozous + 1 Tadarida. all stages of decomposition Weather warmer, partly cloude, Temps in late 60's here, warmed up to 70's late. One of the lights (on the E? side) has burned out. These were erected by the forest service to drive out the bats & shine directly in the roost. They are attached to the wall by the roof & bees can get right next to them. Last time the bats were divided between the 2 sides of the barn - This time they had all gone to one side - that with the light still burning! The Antrozous (1 indiv) was closest, then a large grp of Myotis californicus 4 or 5 feet from the light. Then M. yumanaensis (~ 50-60 or at least) about 10-15 feet from the light. We found several Tadarida mixed in with the M. yumanaensis. Bats [crossed out] largely, that came up quickly. Bat [crossed out]
