D.O. Straney 1976 8. 23 July contd. latter feeding. They rose ~12ft in the air, soared down over a school of fish and dove in head first. Sam says they use the gular fold to gape and suck fish, which may explain why they seem to loose all control over their body which flops into the water. Can't do too many things at once. It probably doesn't matter if they disperse the school after they have sucked in a leak-full of fish. 28 July Arrived in Gainesville last PM after a restful few days in Port Charlotte. Met with Steve Humphrey who was very helpful in arranging for us to get what we want from Florida - Myotis austroriparius, Lasiorus (3 species) and Tadarida. He also had some Florida Public Health specimens which he had been sent for identification. We salvaged some of the less rotten of these for tissues but did not keep specimens. Only rabies negative bats were so salvaged. Included is one "family" of 3 juv L. borealis and the F. L. intermedius is not yellow, but rather Spanish-moss grey-green. Exact localities can be obtained from Steve.
