Species Account
Myotis volans
(June 14, Mt. Shasta State Fish Hatchery, 3440 +/- ft, Siskiyou Co, California)
I shot a female with very large embryos.
It was completely formed and must have been nearly
ready for birth, judging from its size.
This was the only bat I had a chance to shoot at,
only two others having been seen. The cooler temperatures
this evening seem to have kept down most of the
bat activity. Others had had good success in the
same place on evenings prior to tonight.
The area is an open field adjoining a small pond
on the SW corner of the hatchery property. The area
is surrounded on the W and S by forest. Before tonight
several Eptesicus and one Lasiocineta had been shot here.
