A.C. Diebel 1957 Myotis californicus 1 mi. SE Inverness, Marin Co., California JUNE 30 Dr. Benson pulled 3 out from under about roofing strips used to side his cabin near Inverness. I saved for my own collection - rest released. Dr. Benson said THIS (?) species of bat often roosted under these roofing pieces if he had bonded some before - there were unbonded two. There were lighter dark brown and rosy brown color phases in these 3 but I'm afraid I don't remember which was which now or whether my specimen was dark or light phase. Dr. Benson seems to think color differences were correlated with age diff's - one of bats being young of the year. When released these bats flew at rather slowly into woods.
