Nov. 4, Napa & Pope Valleys, Napa County, California
cabin which had been boarded up for the
winter. Here in the yellow pines I saw ?
Downy Woodpeckers, and both White-breasted
and Pigmy Nuthatch. We went into Angwin
& looked through several barns without
success & drove over Howell Mountain
to Pope Valley where we visited the Pope Valley
school (Deserted) which houses a good-
sized Colony of Tadarida & Antrozous which
live between the old shingle roof & the
corrugated iron roof which overlies it.
We collected several Antrozous and proceeded
up the valley to Actna Springs - a small
summer resort. Here we were shown a
number of places where bats hang up
under porch roofs at night. Antrozous
hang outs were identified by good-sized
piles of Steropalmates legs & heads
under them. The only bats we found were
a group of Corynorhines in the attic of
the ~~coolhouse~~ & dining room building
which we entered by a window on a ventilator
on the roof. There were also a few Tadarida
under a piece of tin surrounding the
drinery. For further notes see
S.B. Benson's Notebook. Saw Calif., Nuttall,
& Lewis Woodpeckers in Pope Valley.
