#3. This is the deepest tunnel of the three. About 1000 ft deep.
We located 7 Corynorhinus
2 Myotis.
all of these bats were
clinging to the walls or in
crevices comparatively near the
mouth of the tunnel. The first
was discovered 50 ft from
the mouth, then they we[re]
scattered along the next 10
feet. The individual further back was about 130 ft from the
opening. Temperature in this
area - 5 degrees C.
About 700 ft of the near of the
tunnel is very damp, with water
dripping from the ceiling. We went
to the end of the tunnel where
the temperature was 10 degrees C.
I have never found bats in
or beyond this wet section.
