August 6 On the way back to Hardy's house I had a
(continued) long chat w/ Kim Murphy, parked antiparallel
in the road - about jaguars, dogs, rattles,
powchors, professions, etc. at 0945h I
came upon an adult ♂ C. molossus
crossing the road 0.5 min NW of Care Creek
Rd. motionless and < straight. At 1027h
C. molossus ♂ #3 is still under the culvert,
but now his head is on the ground, facing
out, at the entrance - an arbush postho?
at 1030h. C. molossus ♀ #12's signal
comes from the same root tangle, and as I
approach a young Speemopholis variegatus
goes down a hole at the base of that oak
tree. By 1115h it is sunny and hot and I spot
C. molossus ♂ #9 in a hole in dirt at the base of
a bush, a loop out in the sun - tight fit,
head and tail underground. He is ~ 1/3 up slope
from the deepest gully E. of Dolphin Head. At
1150h I set C. molossus ♂ #11's signed from a
crestona nest around a large red at the end of
the dirt road mig S. to Silver Creek, ~ 56m N.
of Silver Creek.
August 7 Overcast and cool. At 0800h I released C.
molossus ♂ #20 and the C. alox from the pullout
at their original capture sites. At 0840h I got
C. molossus ♂ #3's signed from a Nestona nest
