Description

Writing on Stone Provincial Park is located along an area of the Milk River where rocky outcroppings are abundant. This terrain provides excellent roosting habitat for several species of bats. There are also clumps of cottonwood trees along the river, which provide foraging habitat for all prairie bats. While bats have been captured in the park for many years, there has been no compilation of records, and there has been confusion over what areas of the park have and have not been surveyed for bats. This report describes the capture records of the author for bat work done in both the public areas of park and the restricted area of the park south of the Milk River. The report also compiles netting records for bat work done in the park since 1985.
