Went down on the roadway which is usually a good place for bats, but saw only Pipistrellus hesperus feeding low to the ground up and down the road. Several large bats were seen flying high and towards the arroyo bottom from the hills in back of camp at dusk, but were too high and far away to identify or shoot.

The two species were hanging in separate rooms. Murray caught about 10 Pipistrellus hesperus, several Myotis californicus, and one Eptesicus fuscus and one Lasiurus borealis at late dusk and dark tonight.
