ReStore 1944 Journal 4. 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.
