We carried out fieldwork in October, November, December 2013, and for January, April, May, and June 2014, at the Chiricahua National Monument (CHRNM) and Fort Bowie National Historic Site (FBNHS) in southeastern Arizona. Year 2013 and 2014 was the 14th and 15th year of an on-going project to monitor and inventory bats for the National Park Service (NPS) and the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD). A total of 16 evenings were spent netting bats in the two parks at four different water sources. Two hundred sixty-eight bats of 13 species were netted and data collected at CHRNM and FBNHS for 2013 and 2014. The results of this study are presented in this final report.
