late evening tonight. Killed two pipistrelle
bats tonight. The bats are quite common
in the evening. They are flying quite
high, I in an uncertain fluttering manner
during the early evening while there is
considerable light, but later when it
is quite dark they fly much lower
and straighter. There are quite a
few Ammospermophilus around here
but they can not be caught in rat
traps baited either with oats or with
biscum ring. They are also quite wild
and do not allow a good shot at
them.
