Mexican Free-tailed Bat
July 6 Tule River, 5 mi E Porterville
Tulare Co California
Four young were taken
from a colony of these bats
found inside the North
bridge. I have noticed these
bats in this same place
5 years later, it evidently
is a well established colony.
The adults flew into the
daylight when disturbed and
did a good deal of circling
about. I did not notice any
of them return.
