May 6 Hunted red-wing blackbirds etc. beginning at 5:30 a.m.,
then picked up traps about 8 a.m. 9 more Minerates, several
of them young, and one Mice [all in Solomona]. Mr.
Kenthaadventuringa. There done to implant redwing/falubaris.
May 29 Left 6:45 a.m. with May Koford aunt, et al. for actua
springs. Left aunt + children at Putah Creek (via Vacaville).
No bats in other over kitchen at actua springs where we collected
and banded April 28. Many vocatoven and much noise in
kitchen below may have scared them away. Manager said
many showed up in the socialhall a week ago, but he
drove them out with aerosol bombs. Then looked in
furthest of two tunnels at sharp turn of road at actua
mines. This one had contained no bats April 28, but today
had 1 torpid Cory. The other tunnel, which we had not
been shown before, is about the same depth and had one
cluster of Cory with young. Caught all except 2. [illegible] of
them were unbandled, 30 of them were from the 32 banded
over the kitchen April 28. Most had nursing young, a
few late preg., and one not rather preg. nor nursing. For
composition of cluster, size & ratio of young, etc., see notes
of M.K.
