Bats emerged from the high eaves of the south side of the gendarmerie house at dusk (± 9:45) and 3 or 4 promptly got caught in the net there. A few more before midnight, and two along about 5:15. Only one saw the hotel, and it early in evening. Total catch 388 and 794. The gendarme house with the complex roof seems to be a nursery colony; the lab side house 2 1/2 km west is a single roost or possibly the attic an alternative nursery roost. When released into the attic, 3 disappeared back into the dark, but two scrambled along rafters + beams quite actively, looking like vampires; certainly more mobile than Plecostes. The galvanized roof was warm to the touch, everything else cold, sky overcast. This was 10:30 a.m. Drove to El Calafate. Saw skas + guosecas. First 7 hours saw 2 vehicles, one of which passed in our direction while we were stopped looking for a gas deal. One more in last hour before El Calafate. No trees. Not windy x Evening in El Calafate cool, no wind, several Day 2 drive included 2 ferry boat rides in old USTs (power) inferiour to say no lote - by cable, current, and tractors on both sides of river.
