ballooned slightly from a steady breeze on both nights of 

 trapping. The bat detector found almost constant activity 

 for about 45 minutes after dusk on July 18 (21:30-22:15), 

 followed by sporadic and generally low levels of activity 

 for about one hour (22:15-23:15). 



On the first evening of mist-netting one adult male Little 

 brown bat was captured. On the second night, nine bats were 

 captured. Among these were six adult male Little brown 

 bats, one juvenile female Little brown bat, one adult male 

 Small-footed myotis, and one adult female non-lactating 

 Small-footed myotis. Data from these bats are presented in 

 Table 1. 



The night of July 27, 1992, was spent mist-netting bats over 

 Indian Creek about 2 miles upstream of the canyon in 

 riparian habitat. Three bats were captured, including an 

 adult male Hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus) , an adult male Big 

 brown bat, and adult female lactating Long-legged myotis 

 (Table 1). A bat detector transect was run in the Indian 

 Creek limestone canyon between 21:30 and 22:30 that found 

 low bat activity (3 bat passes per hour were recorded). 

 There was no water in the canyon at the time of the survey. 



A total of 53 bats was captured during five nights of mist- 

 netting surveys on the Townsend Ranger District of the
