June 12 Banded and released about 75 of the Myotis yumanus.
Pint up 5 and discarded 2 injured ones. While banding
me found 3 day-roosting in the big house. When released
most of the 75 flew airlessly, after landing on the
side of the big house. Several crawled with confusion
without hesitation under the trim of the
clapboard big house ->
After lunch drove to the
Hot Creek Power Plant No. 2 which is 3
miles north of Carcel. People at the Carcel store had
said there were bats in the gorge there. The garage
is a high-roofed, girdled structure with corrugated
iron roof. Bats were roosting between some boards
and the corrugated iron. Caught one of them (a
Myotis yumanus) and several others sticking their heads
out but decided not to try to get them.
Then drove to the 3 chalk tunnels at the Pit
River Power Plant, 11 1/2 m NE of Burney. Nothing
in the tunnels at 5:30 p.m. but at 9 p.m.
cought 2 Myotis [illegible] and 1 Eptesicus. One
other Myotis? escaped me. Didn't see any bats
flying at dusk.
June 13 Skinned bats + painted. Drove to Old Station at supper
and talked with Brent Parrish, but he had no good ideas
as to where the Cory are. Camped at the Cory - Bee place
5.4 miles S. of Old Station. Cories continued calling until
