Location. Minimum temperature last night was 55° F.
Shot bats last evening at dusk and obtained
one Eptesicus fuscus. Others obtained Tadarida
mexicana, Dasypus egg, and Pipistrellus hesperus
in addition. Bats did not appear until about 7:30
P.M. and were first seen feeding around and over
the wooded hill. It was not until later that they
descended to feed around the edge of and on its
flat.
49 traps set last evening in willows in canyon
exit caught two Peromyscus eremicus and two
Peromyscus truei. One trap was missing, the string
only remaining, and was probably chewed loose
from its tie-cord by a trapped Neotoma. Three, trap-
ping further down the canyon caught the same
species.
Three additional Mexicans appeared last night
and stayed for dinner and breakfast this morn-
ing. All carried rifles and were presumably
hunting for deer although the season is closed
