tail well curved around her so that we
couldn't see very well what was happening,
but 1/2 hr later the baby was out and
hanging onto her nipple, the placenta was
just being expelled.
June 8, 1950 Aetna Mines, Napa Co., Calif.
Left Berkeley about noon with Mary Kapfer &
children, Bernice Riney, & Carol & Peter. Looked
in the kitchen attic & there were three
awake Cory there -- one banded on the right
wing, one unbanded, & a third. Located the
colony still in the upper tunnel, this time
much closer to the entrance than on our last
trips. Took the rest of the afternoon off for a swim
in Pope Creek & a leisurely supper on the gravel
beach. About 11:0 o'clock Bernice & I went back to
the upper tunnel and netted the whole cluster
of bats, hanging about 20 yards in, where it
was this afternoon. None escaped, and there
were no other bats in the tunnel at the time.
Temp. was 62°, as previously. There were 5
adults in the cluster of 28 bats. Of the 19
babies we had banded a week ago, 5 had left,
but there were 9 new babies (last week there
were only 5 pregnant females). Our prize baby
who was brown while we were banding last
week was there again. Caught one male - 49-1237/8.
