In attic were 2 major clusters of 9 Eptesicus with young, with 9 Tadaris mixed in. Captured most but not all. When approached they tend to crawl instead of fly. They don't drop into the net like Cory. Banded 9 Tadarida, 29 adult Eptesicus, 11 young ff and 12 young qq. Kept 2 lactating and 2 pregnant females (most were lactating) and Twenty kept about 3 Eptesicus and 1 Tadarida. Released the banded ones on the porch of the house across the side road. Then went to see Woody Williams at the old hotel near the center of Inverness. Found a colony of Tadarida in the ceiling on the loft floor, south side, but couldn't get at them. At Jack Twenty netted Myotis californicus by standing on the roof and snagging at them as they flew past. Then to Mr. Selden's barn at 10 pm. One adult Cory in the cluster of young. Four unbanded young were banded. Other band numbers of young were not read. Myotis yuman in garage room. Home 2 a.m.
