L.23.P.17 It got looking more more rainy. About 4 o'clock the rain began & the wind shifted to the west. We had a regular down pour till 5 or so. Tues. Sep. 15. Heavy Rain mostly th night. The lake up a foot more rising still. Sorry for Braz & Reed out in the savanna. Their quarters are pretty cramped out on the savanna. There isn't able to do a thing. This morning it is still raining. Looks as they there would be an early shift if seems to NW this year. Yet it is almost equinox, so why not. Radio tonight (5 hrs). Huly afraid he will be detailed to Orville Camp after he finishes with us. The Ronald's sails on Saturday (1972). Thursday afternoon all details to be settled up with Archbold. Braz back tonight. Reports the place where Rand is as flat, low over soil - rather swampy. He put a list of nut plants but Rand didn't much in birds. Renemore found nothing in the more traps, but then the rain spoiled things any way. In the traps been a young Warhops. Wed. Sep. 16. Last night after midnight heard a steady peep - peep - peep down by the boys' quarters. Thought it might be the survivors baby caracau in trouble. Instead found that the noise came from a small tree & created a pair of eyes. The eyes vanished as a furrin bat took flight, soon to resettle in a tall tree. It appeared to crawl on top of the leaves - but I caught eyes & brought it down. Also some of the tree. This morning shows it to be a small species of Pteropus and the title to be Xanthostemon (Myrtaceae) in flowers. The flowers are small & thick, clustered closely & I am pretty sure the bat was feeding upon the flowers. Heavy rain in the evening. Starlight when I went out after the bat. Overcast this morning. Tork Sorrow & Aria with 1150 traps recent took one owl to the savanna. The only part of it is the edge of the valley where there is a definite drainage. No center wild
