We carried out fieldwork in September, October, November, December 2014, and for January, April, May, June, August, September, and October 2015, at the Chiricahua National Monument (CHRNM) and Fort Bowie National Historic Site (FBNHS) in southeastern Arizona. Year 2014 and 2015 was the 15th and 16th year of an on-going project to monitor and inventory bats for the National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Tucson Audubon Society (TAS), and the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD). A total of 23 evenings were spent netting bats in the two parks at four different water sources. One hundred eighty-two bats of 14 species were netted and data collected at CHRNM and FBNHS for 2014 and 2015. The results of this study are presented in this final report.
