Pomerene, Marin Co. Calif.
Oct. 16 Visited the Coyorhinus barn 1 mi S of Pomerene in
the afternoon. Found 3 carp with attre, quite awake and
flew readily down the stairs and hung up into heater room.
Shot 2 of them, the third got away. (Benson had reported
there here 2 weeks ago. Both mine were female, both landed.
Full noon, saw 2 kinds of bats flying at angle over edge of
rush; one sp. was large, narrow-winged, fast flyer; other
small, slow but rather straight flyer. Picked up a Pernygenus
in damp woods at 4 p.m.. It was hopping rather
casually over the leaves like a toad. Seemed sickly and had
several fleshy net angular region.
Went back to the barn at about 9:15 p.m. Many mystica
nympanensis flying at bottom of stairs and in heater room, also
spatious in main room. At least 8 were in a cruck behind a
board on the stair landing. They had not been there in the
afternoon. Shot several of them as well as one antrozona
in the main room. In the middle garage downstairs were a
few more Nn. nympanensis and 2 thysonodes which I shot.
All these collected had full stomachs.
Oct. 17 Returned to the barn about 10 a.m.. Shot one more
Corynorhinus (unbanded) in the garret (perhaps the one that escaped
yesterday). No other bats found. More behind board on landing where
the nympanensis had last night. All bats of all species were fat.
Oct. 20 Returned to Pomerene with Mary & Carl Koford and
AKP et al. Went to the Rite-Aid Market and asked for
Lewdi as per instructions. Lewdi was away but one
of the other people working in the store [owner ?]
