The Silver-haired bat ( Lasionycterus noctlvagans) caught in 1991 

 was flying over a slow moving side-channel of Rock Creek west of 

 Phillipsburg, It was in willow habitat amid cottonwoods and 

 aspens, with dense Douglas fir forests and rock outcrops nearby. 

 This species was heard on the bat detector on Bison Creek during 

 surveys in 1992, and near Rock Creek during 1991 surveys. Both 

 sites are riparian with moving water, beaver ponds, mature 

 Douglas fir, mature cottonwoods, and aspens in the vicinity. 

 There are extensive rock outcrops and cliffs near the Rock Creek 

 site, and dense lodgepole forests near the Bison Creek site.
