| Figure 3. Potential range of Townsend’s big-eared bat (Corynorhinus townsendii) in Oregon showing current suitable habitat as of 2011. Images from Oregon Explorer Wildlife Viewer http://oe.oregonexplorer.info/Wildlife/wildlifeviewer/?SciName=Mammalia&TaxLevel=order
This map is not intended as guidance for specific projects, but instead provides an overall view of the potential predicted habitat within the state. It does not include a number of areas where Townsend’s big-eared bats are known to occur. The range of COTO within the state of OR has been suggested to include the entire state excluding only the highest elevations (P. Ormsbee, personal communication). The utility of this map may therefore be limited.
