Kingsley 5 June 79 p3. 7 looked like "carpenter ants" In evening, a "flock" of bats came wheeling over our heads, beginning at 8:15 and continuing intermittently until dark (or after?) looked like Myotis. Also a smaller bat (Pipistrellus?) and a larger bat (? Eumops?). Probably could have caught some if we had not strung across the road. 27 June 1979 Checked traps at 7 am, picked up all traps by 11 am. Kept all cought: Peromyscus maniculatus (#80,81,82,83, 84,85,86) which was total catch! 7/120 = 4 with Quick Oats 3 with Horse Oats. On line along road going uphill: 0/40 going downhill: 5/40 perpendicular: 2/40. Not very productive! Watched a BT Jackrabbit feeding on hill across canyon from trapline. Checked a small cave for bats, found none and no real evidence, but cave narrowed into a chimney. Packed up and left about 12:30. Saw Cnemidophorus tigris along road about 2 miles E of camp, where Pumas were getting scarcer and continuing sporadically to highway. Jackrabbits became common (5-6) once we had left Puma Sanipes.
