August
1939,
Tadarida mexicana
[4]
Fallon, 4000 ft, Churchill Co, Nevada.
It was the Sagebrush Cafet bar which
is a two story structure. I watched
the bats for 10 or 15 minutes and
captured one with the aid of a
stick. All the bats I looked
at had their mouths open and
were panting indicating the
heat was warmer than to be
comfortable for them.
I observed these bats on
several occasions in Aug.
& on most all occasions
they were panting with mouths
open as though they were
suffering from the heat yet they
did not move to another location
at least during my observation
of them which lasted over a
27 day period.
