Eptesicus fuscus
Engler
1936
July 1. W side Truckee R., 4900 ft., 2 mi. W Verdi, Washoe Co., Nev.
Two bats were shot a little after dusk
along the W side of the Truckee R. They were
flying in irregular flight along an
open lane bounded on one side by aspens
on the other by a low hill with scattered
pines. When shot they were flying
about 50 ft above the ground.
Their flight did not seem as erratic
as the smaller Myotis sp. which were
seen.
July 2 One large bat, believed to be of the
same species as above, was seen this
evening. It was flying much
lower than evening then on the previous
evening. As a breeze was blowing
from the south the insects apparently
were not flying as high as previous night.

Nev
Two specimens taken in open Cottonwood
lined lane. Fairly strong wind blowing.
Flying from 4 to 25 feet above ground but
stayed mostly near the ground.
