Excerpt from Population Ecology of the Gray Bat (Myotis Grisescens): Factors Influencing Early Growth and Development In 1970 each of the six study caves was Visited at 10-day intervals from April (except for cave 50, first Visited 31 May) through 6 August (caves 38 and 41 not Visited after 25 and 2 July respectively), and at 13 to 15-day intervals thereafter through the time of the bats' departure in October. Parturition commenced within the period 28 May to 4 June at all colonies and was more than 98% completed in approximately 15 days in the smallest colonies (12 and 25) and in 17 days in the remainder. Postnatal pre ight growth data were gathered on the following dates: cave 50 (31 May, 10, 20 June); cave 41 (2, 12, 22 June); cave 38 (5, 15, 25 June); cave 25 (6, 16, 26 June); cave 12 (7, 17, 27 June); cave 9 (8, 18, 28 June).
