This report presents results of cave and mist-net surveys for bats from field work performed July 5–August 18, 2006. Thirteen caves were identified, and 10 were surveyed. Mist-net surveys were conducted at 11 sites. A total of 67 individuals were trapped, representing six species: Townsend’s big-eared bat (Corynorhinus townsendii), big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), western small-footed myotis (Myotis ciliolabrum), long-eared myotis (Myotis evotis), little brown myotis (Myotis lucifigus), and Yuma myotis (Myotis yumanensis). No maternity colonies for Townsend's big-eared bat [or for any of the species identified] were located. Surveys of other caves in the area are recommended.
