Inventory of Distribution, Composition, and Relative Abundance of Mammals, including Bats, at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site
Robbins L. 2005. Inventory of Distribution, Composition, and Relative Abundance of Mammals, including Bats, at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site
An inventory of the presence/absence of mammals (including bats) was conducted at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site from May 21 through May 26, 2004. The inventory documented 23 of 45 (51 %) expected species. Nine of the unverified species are small carnivores and may be present occasionally or in small numbers. Two aquatic rodents were also unverified, but may be present in the creek on an occasional basis. Species are typical of tall grass prairies, old farm fields, managed parkland, and riparian areas. No state or federally listed species were observed. Further sampling may add to the number of confirmed small mammals and continued observations by National Historic Site personnel may add to the number of the larger species, especially if road kills on adjacent highways are identified and included. Sampling around National Historic Site buildings may confirm the presence of the two non-native mammals expected to be present on the Site.
