Eptesicus fuscus
May 10 San Jose de Comondú, 700 ft. Baja California
Two males (#161, 162) shot last evening just
after dusk (7:30 P.M.) They were feeding around
palm trees on the valley floor and appeared
later than the Pipistrellus hesperus. Minimum
temperature last night was 56° F.
May 11 Perro Grande, 25+ ft 25°46' N 112°02' W. Baja California
Two males shot flying over water-hole
200 yards west of town at late dusk. The
bats were flying singly about 30 feet above
the grain pond and surrounding sand, willow.
They were easily recognized in flight by their
higher level of flight and larger size than
the Myotis yumanensis. I put up one specimen
(#171), the other was found in the morning and
put up by Dr. Benson.
May 12 Triunfo, 1700 ft. Baja California
Three caught by Dr. Benson, Tevis, Murray
and myself, in an abandoned building in
town yesterday afternoon. It is believed that
the Eptesicus were hanging in a different place
than the Tadarida mexicana and Myotis volans
which were situated between doubled 2x12"
supports to a box roof of a 2 story building.
The Eptesicus were believed to have been
in a crevice between a similar 2x12 sup-
port and the wall, one story lower. Specimens
were put up by Tevis.
