while 67% of the sites with lodgepole pine had low activity 

 (Table 2). 



Table 3 shows the percentage of high, moderate, and low activity 

 sites containing a given habitat component. For instance, half 

 of the sites with high bat activity had rock outcrops, mature 

 hardwoods, lodgepole pine forest, or Douglas fir components 

 nearby (note: some sites may have had all of these components, 

 some only one, or any combination). All of the sites with high 

 activity were in riparian areas. Only 17% of the high activity 

 sites had caves or adits nearby, and the same percentage were 

 near clearcuts. 



Sites that had moderate bat activity were associated with Douglas 

 fir stands 86% of the time and riparian areas 71% of the time, 

 while no sites with moderate activity were associated with beaver 

 ponds or clearcuts (Table 3). 



All sites with low bat activity had lodgepole pine as a component 

 of the habitat; 71% of these sites were in riparian area while 

 none were near clearcuts and only 14% had old buildings or rock 

 outcrops nearby ( Table 3 ) . 



Bat species captured 



Bats were captured at five of the 19 sites where mist nets were 



set on the Deerlodge National Forest in 1992. These were at the
