K Pearson 1950 xx xx xx xxx x 1 1/2' x 1 1/2' floor > These groups (in this area, perhaps more groups) were the only ones she was interested in. Sept 17, 1950 - Actna Springs, Inyo Co., Calif. Left yesterday now for Actna + Marblette Cory colonies. Stopped at Angwin + found one cloth of spiders in the innery. Next stopped at the kitchen attic where we found much activity. All the bats seemed to be awake, fluttering about at the dark end of the attic. Managed to catch about 10 of them, but know- that 3-4 escaped. Most were young females, although one was a banded young male, and and there were several adult females there too. He heard great squeaking around the entrance to the attic & by climbing under the ventilator motor could see swarms of Antrognus + Talcante crawling in the space between the roof & the ceiling of the room below. They must get in behind the chimney and crawl up to the roof. At Actna Drive, we missed a Cory in the lower left tunnel (probably flew into that super choker that's so hard to get into) and got one or another cory in the lower right.
