3'-ft. deep and full to the brim. Bats squealing at 8:30pm in the creek in the beds of the big slaying barn, dripping underneath. Poplars etc around the house, but little nother and sage brush of several species. Put a net inside the big barn and another over one of the water tanks. Saw Colf. guiland copetora tinamoor 20 yds. apart. Evening somewhat windy but warm. Lots of myotis drinking at the tank without the net. A few at the tank with net, but avoided it. at 10:30 there were 4 g myotis in the barn net, none flying there, morning calm, 1/2 overcast, warm. Bats returned to barn between no more 4 and 5:30 a.m., but none caught in net. Saw the water tanks not at 6:00 were 1 myotis g ad 1 Tadarida ?. Returned to river bridge to skin, then drove to La Rinconada and the James Wood eucalyptus farm W of La Rinconada. It is a lush oasis of flowers, trees of all sorts including eucalyptus, sequoia gigantea, cedar, ash, junipers, cypress, poplar, alamo, apples, cherry etc etc. Colf. / puffy. Artemium water. Hummingbirds in winter but not in summer, unless they are found in summer in jurisdio for aides. They consider Gasconne common in summer in the dense juniper trees and current bushes. Looked in various buildings for bats. Found one group in the ceiling of the tech room, but no way to get to them. Left about 4 and drove to Estancia chacalero where we met Peter Brewing family Symington, the administrator (French sportmen owners). He said lots of bats in the attic of his house. We promptly had a look and caught 7 in corners of beams - all male myotis and one f Tadarida. Attic was quite warm. Lots of droppings, plus a nasty accumulation with brick chimney where it passes through to attic. Could hear squeaking of other unreachables. They have made numerous attempts at eradication with spray cans of Dieldrin, burning
