The red bat and fulvous harvest mouse were both found only along Rincon Creek, in the expansion area that was added to Saguaro National Park during the 1990s. The red bat is a riparian obligate species and may occur in the district only in this area. Less is known about the fulvous Sample period Sample period harvest mouse, but the finding of this species in the district is noteworthy. Additional inventory work could also increase the number of bat species detected. In total, 18 bat species have been confirmed for the Rincon Mountain District. Ronnie Sidner, who collected data for this effort and is a regional expert on the distribution and ecology of bats, believes that an additional four species could be found with additional survey effort: California 83 Middle Elevation High Elevation Low elevation 5 0 10 20 30 40 Figure 6.11. Species accumulation curve for infrared-triggered cameras, Saguaro National Park, Rincon Mountain District, 1999-2005. Each sample period for the low‑elevation stratum represents a randomized combination of 50 observations. Each sample period for medium‑ and high‑elevation strata represents 20 observations.
