About 5 mi. W Sahontaw Dam in Churchill Co., Nevada
Aug. 7,
We moved up the railroad for about
1/4 mile & there under a similar
bridge we found droppings that
indicated bats had recently occupied
the crevices up in between the
large planks (about 18in x 18in) that
were about 1/2 to 1 inch apart apart
thus leaving a place out of the light
for these bats. After spending
some time in the vicinity my
wife thought she heard a bat
so by closer observations we
found or rather we could see
on favorable occasions a
bat or two up in the crevice. I
shot shot up into "
&
several bats fell from to the
ground. This location, as I found
in previous occasions, was in
the foothills & at each time
I have found & seen the
bats in groups of up to
fifty which indicates they
are colonial
