Bats at Agua Caliente Park

March 25, 2019 No Comments

Western Yellow Bat (Lasirus xanthinus). This bat roosts in the skirts of the many palm trees at the park. The Western Yellow bat is relatively rare in the Tucson area and like most bats, it is a nighttime feeder of mosquitos, ants, wasps, flies, and many other insects. They give birth to two young in June/July.

  • About This Site

    The Friends of Agua Caliente (FOAC) was established in October 1993 in an effort to save a historic site in the Tanque Verde Valley. Although this grassroots organization remains small, the conviction of “The Friends” remains intact. Today, FOAC is working to preserve the contemplative nature of this “oasis in the desert” along with its natural Sonoran desert plant and wildlife habitats.

    The Friends of Agua Caliente is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation. Donations to FOAC are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
