March 7. Univ. Calif. Campus Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
Between 7:15 and 7:30 P.M. while it was still
quite light, I was coming across Oxford St.
with Stanley Leopold when we saw a bat
flying about over the intersection of Oxford St.
and the street which winds along the south
side of the campus (1 block N Bancroft way). The
bat looked large and broad-winged to
me & small to Stanley. I guessed
Antrozous, he - Pipistrellus or Myotis, at
any rate we were both certain it was
not Tadarida. It was quite a warm
evening - the first for the year I think -
and the first bat I had seen out
this spring. As we approached the
SW corner of the Life Sciences Building
we saw another bat. All of this
proves nothing except that we
both need a lot more practice
in identifying bats on the wing.
