Douglas Creek Mines 



Two nights were spent at this site on Douglas Creek. There 

 are two gated adits, both apparently fairly extensive as 

 cold air was blowing out of both. Mist nets were placed 

 near the entrances, and the bat detector was used to listen 

 for activity. There are also old mine buildings in the 

 vicinity and these were searched for evidence of bat use. 

 Bat activity was moderate at the site, including at the 

 mouths of the adits and around the buildings. Six Big brown 

 bats, one Small- footed myotis, and one Northern long-eared 

 bat were captured in mist nets. Bats entering and leaving 

 the adits appeared to be primarily Small-footed myotis. One 

 of the old mine buildings, a small shed 1/4 mile (440m) east 

 of the adits, apparently was being used by Big brown bats as 

 a day roost. 



Eva May Mine 5 miles NE of Basin 



One night (August 21) was spent using mist nets and 

 listening for bat activity, near the old buildings at this 

 site. No bats were captured. A moderate amount of activity 

 by Big brown bats was recorded. 



Mine site near Rocker Peak 6 miles NE of Basin 

 One evening was spent listening for bat activity at a 

 minesite one mile north of the Eva May Mine northeast of 

 Basin. No bat activity was recorded.
