Abstract: The work proposed under this task agreement will enhance an ongoing National Park Service inventory of bats in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument by providing critical information on roost locations and habitat characteristics of those locations. This project will utilize radio telemetry techniques to locate summer maternity roosts and temporary night roosts of the Townsend’s big-eared bat (Corynorhinus townsendii pallescens), pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus pallidus), silver-haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans), and western small-footed myotis (Myotis ciliolabrum) within John Day Fossil Beds National Monument in eastern Oregon.
