April 10 Punta San Felipe, 50 ± ft, Baja California.
Three seen flying westward by camp at
7:00 P.M. this evening. One shot last evening
and another this evening (#35+36). Bats

of Point. Seen feeding close to ground along
beach in pairs and groups of four and

9:30 P.M.: Pipistrellus started flying toward
San Felipe from the hill NE (previously stated as
East) of camp at 7:00 P.M. The Pipistrellus came
in loose groups, for four or five would pass
over in one interval of time with none in the
following interval. Later the Pipistrellus were
seen feeding close to the terrain. Two
instances were noted in which a probable
Pipistrellus circled a person completely at about
the level of his waist at a distance of about
two feet.
