Puerto del Triunfo, Dept. Usulutan
Dec., 28, 1925 - Jan., 25, 1926
Least Bat - Morcigalo
We found this little bat in
the old Red Hotel where we had our
quarters. At dusk each evening they
faced hither and thither up and down
a large porch at the back of the hotel
in association with Brown Leaf-nosed
Bats which soon cleared out. Also I saw
them fluttering under the eves along
the side of the hotel bordering the
main street. It was impossible to
shoot at this time of the day because
of the danger of hitting someone. No. 10921
was caught when it entered our room.
We quickly closed the doors and windows
and it soon tired and came down. No.
11018 was caught in a butterfly net
as it circled up through the back porch.
I caught another in the butterfly net
but it escaped through a small hole.
