Bats
Dec.3(cont.) Berkeley, Calif.
Time with regard to darkness, I would expect
them to begin making a noise.
Dec.5 5:40 P.M. Heard no bats & it was too
dark at this time to see any but very quite
sure none were flying out.
Dec.6 5:20 P.M. Saw or heard no bats. It has
sprinkled some during the day.
Dec.8 6:15 P.M. Thought I heard a bat as
did Fred Test also 1 block north (Durant &
Dana) of the church were the bats
roost. Heard none at the church.
Dec.10 5:15 P.M. Was quite sure I heard some
bats squeaking in the tower at this
time, but when stopped & listened for
about 3 minutes with Fred Test &
my wife heard no further sound.
It has been raining all day, is
cold, & very windy.
