Quest 1948 Journal 98 June 2 Loma Nidum, Jose del Cabo, 250+ ft., Baja California. Wren and Cardinal. Lloyd Tevis caught two Phylodactylus unctus in a cave 100 yds south of here at 8 tonight. The Dasypus began flying at 6:45 this evening (sunset) and again fifteen minutes before the small bats appeared. No Tadarida femorosa have been seen here at dusk despite the fact that they were seen at Santa Anita which is less than two miles west of here. Perhaps thiaroyo is not suited to them, or else we are camped just out of their range from the moun- tains to the west. The nights have been cool and pleasant and the days not excessively warm. The air is quite damp at night and the last two mornings have had fog west of here near the mountains. June 3 Same Location Minimum temperature last night was 66°F, maximum today 91°F. 48 live traps set along area where hillside south of camp meets sandy wash below, caught 20, 29 Peognathus spinatus (#306-309 incl). No other traps were disturbed. Tevis caught a Cranyon last night in place where stream bed meets wash south of camp. Saw several California Jays today. Set out 10 Schuyler traps through wash and along hillside south of camp tonight.
