Greene, It. 1993 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
