Pipistrellus hesperus
4
May 23 E. Carragita, 1400ft, 5 mi N. Santiago, Baja California.
Specimen flew into wires stretched one inch
above water surface at same moment as two
Eptesicus fuscus.
May 27 Same
location. One female (#265) with 2 embs of 9mm
cought at dark last night as it flew over
water tanks 100 yards west of camp. The
Pipistrellus seem attracted to the swinging
net, swinging around and following it in
its course very often.
The Pipistrellus are very common here, they
being seen in numbers around the large gran-
ite boulders of the hillside, and along the
roadway and garden near camp. Tevis and
Murray have netted many over the water tanks
on the hillside at dusk and darks.
May 28 Same
location. 8? netted here last night over the upper
water tanks between 7:30 and 9:30. No other
bats were caught by myself, but Tevis caught
one Corynorhinus and a Myotis californicus
on the opposite side of the tank in the same
interval. Each time a Pipistrellus was
cought, several others were noted in the
vicinity, they seeming to come in associated
groups.
May 29 Same
location. One shot 6:45 P.M. yesterday as it was
flying over cornfield next to camp. (#269)
