Eptesicus fuscus
7
June 25 Los Martires, 300+ ft, 23 mi by road N.W. San Ignacio Baja Calif.
There are no mountains or hills in this vicinity,
th nearest one being visible at a great distance
to the east. A cement water tank and a
long cement watering troughs both containing
water, and a windmill exist at this place.
One Myotis californicus was obtained shortly
after this specimen was shot. Bats were
very scarce this evening.
June 30 San Lucano, 100+ ft, 5 mi S. Santa Rosalia, Baja California
Shot three and Dr. Benson two of this species
one
evening over a cornfield at dusk (See
Journal pg. 148). All four were females and
one of my specimens (#444,445,446) had two embryos,
one had one embryo and the other none. The feeding
areas of this species were confined to the limits
of the cornfield (approx. 150 x 250 ft) and we
had to go into the area to shoot them, thus
leaving the boundary but rarely. Pipistrellus
deserius were also feeding over the cornfield but
did not limit themselves to its limits. None
were seen drinking at the pond of this species.
