Hydranates. Proceeded to the beach where our
boat was, and to our surprise saw bats
flying, 3:30 on a sunny afternoon. One of the
bats flew at me several times & I ran for the
net & gun we had brought. The bat then flew-
within 2 yards of me & landed on a rock on
the beach. A Myotis.
March 11, 1951 Another night at Potter, & in
the evening we had several unsuccessful shots at
bats apparently trying to enter the cave. I had
about 50 musser-specials out along the stream
below and up the mountain to the cave.
8 Peromyscus - 2 boylii, 2 maniculatus, &
the rest truei. We managed to get the boat
started for the other side of the lake about 9,
but were forced to row all the way across.
It was past noon by the time we had the boat
out of the water & taken Bruce home again.
About 2 PM we set out for Lowe, arrived at
Subway at 6PM. There were 2 clusters of 2
moles & the other bats hung singly, well
scattered through the south branch (none in
north). Again one of ours found dead (#42-162390).
Altogether there were 12 bats, 2 of which were F.F.
Kept the dead one & 4 males. Neither I was
given. No embalmed bats. Joe took a temperature
of a bat's mouth with his fast-recording thermometer
= 0.9°C. The air where the bat was hanging
