had no bats this time or when Mary Todd & anita
measured it. It's temperature at 10 a m was 13° C.
Noted that the adult males tend to hold the
tail (when folded) more tightly curled around under the
body than do the females and young males. Not
always, but most of the time.
In each of the two good tunnels there were about
nine more bats found in the morning than
were counted the previous evening. It is not
unlikely that some of these arrived from elsewhere
during the night. In other words, bats may still
be arriving at these wintering tunnels, but
where are 26 of the 30 that Todd, Mary & Anita hauled
a few weeks ago.
at the divide between Montrello and
Rapa there are now hanging on the fence
five coyotes and 2 bob-cats!
Fremont Peak, Monterey Co.
Jan. 19
Jan. 19. Drove to top of Fremont Peak with anita, Mrs Kelley et al.
looked into various natural caves and tunnels at noon.
Found torpid m & f coy in small natural cave at very
tops of peak. Both torpid, the female with tiny drops of
blood? on tip of hairs. In large mine tunnel on south-
west slope near crest we found a torpid m un., volans a torpid
f ins. thypanodes, and a torpid f coy, all hanging in
open from ceiling. One more f coy in a tunnel on
north slope, also with blood? on fur.
