California leaf-nosed bat reports do not form one smooth seasonal peak. October has the most records, six, and September follows with five, while February, March, July and November have none. With 26 records in all, that irregular calendar can reflect survey timing and access as well as bat activity.
The records come from San Diego, Riverside, Imperial and San Bernardino counties in the state’s southeast corner, with Cleveland National Forest the only named site. NatureServe’s S3, vulnerable, assessment describes statewide conservation standing; the 26 occurrence records are documentation, not a measure of abundance.
