Nycteris cinerea (1)
Galime Mad R. ford, 2700 ft., above Ruth, Trinity Co., Salis.
May 26, 1933
This evening we had a remarkable
flight of Hoary Bats. None have been
[illegible] hitherto. They were out from
early to late evening, flying higher
in the early part and lower in the
later part of the evening. Their
flight was more relatively straight
as true, more like Nycteris
than Myotis. The flight this
appeared like a migratory movement,
so large were the numbers and so
sudden the appearance of this bat.
May 29, 1933
None seen this evening, nor on
the 27th or 28th. This absence lends
more to a migrational appearance to
the flight on the 26th.
