California myotis is an acrobatic flyer. It is dark brown to blond with dark ears, and feeds on moths and flies.

Early in the summer, a female joins a maternity or nursery colony where she gives birth to one offspring. In winter, these bats roost in mines, caves and buildings. 

The California myotis is an Oregon Conservation Strategy Species found throughout the state except for the Columbia Basin.
