Cuernavaca to Chilpancingo, Guerrero, Mexico
5 Nov. Chilpancingo, staying at hotel Tacarandas. There
is a big theatre heard and we caught
"Zona Muerta" (Dead Zone) for 120 pesos.
Chilpancingo to Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico
6 Nov. Wrote up early, had breakfast, wrote field
notes, catalogued, preserved, got ice, and
set by the pool. Prepared to go back to
Mezcala, but tried to time it so we
could arrive at Tierra Colorada about
1600-1700 to see if we might get
bats. Although it's the full moon, if we
can find Balaneopteryx at their roost
in boulders, we me bay able to net them
just outside the roost when they're
not echolocating intensely, but flying more by
memory. At Mezcala they had a few
more Bipes and I live suerte that I
could identify, although it appears to be some
diurnal species. Arrived Tierra Colorada at 1730
and looked for Aulis. Only saw and caught
1 juvenile on a boulder just before dark, and
a sleeping adult well after dark. Also saw
Phylodactylus. We were able to see some
bats roosting in the boulders, small brown bats
with two white lines on the back and wing
sars: Saccopteryx leptura. We walked back
to the car to get a hand net to see
