Abstract

Based on site-visits over the past several years to Conner Cave in Major County, Oklahoma, it appears that the large population of Brazilian free-tailed bats that historically used the cave as a maternity site has abandoned the cave. This was one of the northernmost maternity caves in the Great Plains. Previous estimates of the size of the population were several hundred thousand.
