Bats of Malheur NWR w/ Alexa Martinez, Wildlife Biologist

At Malheur Refuge, we take part in the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat) to monitor bat activity as coordinated by Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. NABat was created to assess continental-wide changes in distribution and abundance of bat species. While contributing to a larger data collection effort we also learn more about the diversity and abundance of bats that migrate to and breed at the Refuge. With Bat Conservation International's annual Bat Week coming up (Oct. 24-31) we hope you will join us in learning more about and celebrate bats at the Refuge!
