Palma 1936. January Laguna Ranch, San Benito Co. (cont'd) July 15 cont'd. gone to King City & should return in the afternoon to hunt. We waited to get permission to camp from Mr. Eade. Late in the afternoon looked into a small cabin and scared up a bat which fluttered around the room. I finally swatted it with my hat. The commotion scared out another bat which Johnson swatted. These turned out to be Myotis volans, mine a ? and Johnson's a 9. Mr. Eade had not showed up by dark so we went to bed. This A.M., July 15, found out that Mr. Eade will be back some time today. We hope to get camp set up sometime but don't know when or where. We also haven't permission to hunt so can't collect much. Took a bird census from 10 A.M. to 1. Started from the cabin and went northwest along The edge of the valley. From 10:10 - 11:00 A.M. walked thru thickets of scrub Oak, wild cherry, wild rose, small blue-oak and Calif. buckeye and on grassy hillsides with white oak, Blueoak and a few Digger pine. In the 50 minutes, recorded 124 birds of the 25 species following column I. From 11:00 - 12:10 took census in Coletio Pine, 40-60 ft. high, Large Black Oaks & a few Valley Oak on open & grassy beneath. recorded 99 birds of 18 species.
