From June 23-28 and on August 6, 2002, Mount Rainier Wildlife Program staff conducted a small mammal inventory, a rapid assessment of bat species, and documented the presence of other mammals in the area at Fort Vancouver National Historical Site (FOVA) and parts of the Vancouver National Historic Reserve (Reserve). Our small mammal inventory focused on live trapping in seven habitat types for 600 trap-nights. We captured 74 unique individuals of five different species (+ two unknown) and documented two additional species incidentally. The most frequently-trapped species was the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus). We collected eight voucher specimens to include at least one of each of the five species trapped. We were unable to capture bats in one night of mist-netting in the Reserve but did identify big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) calls using an electronic bat detector and visually documented likely two different Myotis species.
