warm; one open only at one end was much warmer than the air. Got 15 bats all told, about a half dozen escaped, and I have looked only in the tunnel under the Villaneja third of the road. Discarded a few badly shot area. Light sprinkle at noon, just enough to settle the dust; somewhat more at 7 p.m., but not more than 1/8 inch. Have been in camp only one day, and forgot to take temp. on that day. It has been as low as 20° in the early morning. Decided to take down Savage's mystery bird, described as a big brown coot. It makes a savage sound mornings & evenings and also a soft, deep, mellow hooting that can be heard only 10 or 20 yards; always encountered so far in heavy woods & brush. I had it all figured out as a tiwanon, but when I shot one this evening it seems to be a forest-living rail. July 1 Light rain during the night and until about 9 a.m. Total received in can was about 1/8 inch. Nothing in traps. Temp. at noon 29° cloudy. Got a few more bats out of a culvert near camp, this time 2 lots pregnant & 4, a non- pregnant, & one immature male. All wide awake. Moved trap line to a dry wash running through fairly thick woods. Jacklighting for about 1/2 hour shot 3 rabbits, saw 1 other, 2 poor mule, and one long-tailed owl about size of barn owl.
