2 ♂♂ and 1 ♀ in a corner of the cave that had not been
marked.
Total running 15♀♀ and 9 ♂♂
Removed yesterday /7♀♀ and 4 ♂♂/
22♀♀ 13 ♂♂
About 3:30 p.m. we found that the left cave has a branch
that goes past the rock slide that blocks it. This is much the
longest branch of any; fairly warm and wet. In it we found
only 6 bats: 5 ♂♂ and 1 flew. Here total score for
both caves was 22♀♀ and 18 ♂♂
At 1 p.m. went cave hunting with a boy, Brent Parrish,
of Rain Rock Ranch, Old Station, Shasta Co. Found one
very good Corynorhinus cave a bit SE or E of the Ice Cave
that we were in yesterday. Mostly females. Found one
pair, ♂ and ♀, unweighted, both torpid. Clearly fluid could
be expelled from ♀. Another cave 1.6 miles N of Subway
had a very narrow opening and only one large chamber. Contained
1 Cory ♀.
Went back to Subway in the evening. Only saw about 2 Cory
flying in the course of 3 trips through the cave, yet considerable
activity must have been going on (see below). Of the 18 we
had spinned in the morning and hung up on the side walls,
only two remained where hung at 8:30 p.m., about equal
number on ceiling. (By tomorrow morning only 1 remain where put).
At 8:35 on first trip through in evening encountered 3♀♀
clustered together. Captured them—all torpid). At another point
(also in south branch):
