a constriction in the gully near camp.
Only one bat was seen nearby, and it
flew too high to be captured. One
Poorwill which was foraging along the
gulch flew into the net and bounced off.
I waited nearby after dark for about a
half an hour, but no more bats were
to be seen. One Poorwill was foraging
from the floor of the gully near where I
sat. It would fly up
from the flat ground, grab an insect,
fly over the brush, and alight. This
was repeated several times near where I
sat. A buck Mule Deer came to the
spring to drink. It frightened and
left when I saw it. It seemed to
have about four points on each side
of its antlers, which were in velvet.
