Quast 1948 Journal 45 May 2 Mulege 25± F Baja California Minimum temperature last night at our camp 11 mi SSE Santa Rosalia was 57° F. Birds seen near there included Seawallows (flying over th estero), an Osprey, and a Loggerhead Shrike. One Antelope Ground-squirrel was seen 1 mile south of this. 6:00 P.M. We are comfortably camped in one of the rooms of the Government building in Mulege. A spring was broken in the Dodge truck and is being repaired at present. Just after we arrived at this town (12:00 A.M.-noon) The four of us caught 2 S and 20 F Tadarida mexicana in the ceiling between a 2 x 12 and the wall (see species account). At 5:00 P.M. we caught approx 40 Myotis yumanensis in a crevice between 2 x 12's that support a roof over a large porch in the back of this building (see species account). Mulege is placed in an arroyo about one mile from the sea. It is very similar to San Ignacio in its setting in the volcanic mountains and its many palm trees and pond in the center. There is a government prison up on the hill and xxxx we are placed directly beneath it. The mission has been rejuvenated and its neat, white appearance is probably nothing like the old building.
