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.

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.
