Lasionycteris noctivagans
July 6 Brookes Meadow, 4300 ft., 9 mi ENE Mt. Hood, Hood R. Co., Oreg.
About 8 P.M. this evening, these bats
were seen flying around the tops of the
timber where it comes down to the edge of
the meadow. The bats fly mostly near the
tops of the spruce + firs and remain
usually about 50 feet above the ground.
Johnson and I shot at one nearly
simultaneously and both apparently hit
the specimen (as it was rather badly torn
up).
July 7 This evening about 8:00 P.M. again these
bats appeared. Mosquitos are exceedingly
abundant today, for it has been a
relatively warm day. One specimen was
collected tonight by Johnson. By 9:00 o'clock
none had been seen for the last 15
minutes, so they were not hunted longer.
