[cayugabirds-l] Bats of Montezuma

[Johnson, Alyssa]

Good afternoon-

I so appreciate this platform to share programs and events with the birding 
community across Western NY. Last week we held a moth program at the Montezuma 
Audubon Center, and had participants from as far as Buffalo attend because of 
this listserve.

I wanted to share our next upcoming event that may be of interest: Bats of 
Montezuma led by NYSDEC Biologist Jim Eckler. It will be on Friday, August 24 
from 7pm-9:30pm.

Please follow the link below for more information regarding this event.

Thank you,

[cayugabirds-l] Bats

[Susan Fast]

 I was out front of the house just now, looking for BATS.  At 2047, 2 appeared 
flying in tandem.  In the next fifteen minutes, they flew over 8 times, always 
in tandem, from 1' to 4' apart.  They moved very quickly;  this was not typical 
foraging behavior.  It looked to me like a synchronized courtship display.  I 
have never really thought about courtship in bats, but they must do something.  
Maybe I'll have baby bats soon.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bats!

[John Confer]

I spent a summer banding bats in Indiana as part of an undergrad project 
from Earlham College. It was supervised by Jim Cope, father of Ed Cope 
of our Ithaca community. We banded 10,000in one summer mainly from large 
breeding colonies. My first science paper was on the results of that bat 
study.

Probably the red bat was the Red Bat Lasiurus borealis. As Alyssia 
said, some bats hybernate at our latitude. The temperature needs to be 
not too cold, or they will use up all of their energy trying to keep 
warm before spring returns, but not too warm, or their temperature will 
drop to the ambient and metabolism will not slow down enough to make the 
body fuel last until spring.
The chance that the bats have rabies, which they do carry, is very 
small. They do poop and pee during the winter, which can leave stains 
and smells. Otherwise, they are harmless and interesting.

 Betsy, I'd love to see your picture. Also, there are both tree and 
 cave bats it NY. Typically the tree bats are here in summer and 
 migrate. Cave bats are the ones we find in our attics this time of 
 year. Attics make great pseudo caves! There are multiple species of 
 each. I recently wrote a blog entry on them, if interested!

 I'd be interested in the answers you get. We have had bats hibernating 
 in our garage for years. We've sealed up every possible entry space 
 but they still get in. They live in our bat house in the summer but 
 they prefer the warm garage in the winter. We had a beautiful orange 
 (!) bat on a deck railing last month. I can send a picture if anyone 
 can identify it for me. Thanks, Elizabeth King

I installed a bat house on the southeast side of my house over a year ago,
but haven't attracted any customers.  There aren't any bat lures, are
there?  ; )

Stupid question, but what do they do the rest of the year?
But in all seriousness, thanks for the useful information! I've had close 
interactions with two Myotis: one in my living room, and the other in the food 
court at the Ithaca Mall. Both were successfully evacuated. We often watch our 
local bats on summer evenings, buzzing our house, but have not gotten a good 
enough look to tell the species of our little neighbors.

[Claire Damaske]

I don't know if it's okay to keep this going, but... We have bats in our
attic and our barn.  I'm not really sure if they stay all winter.  But we
usually have 3 or 4 come into the living quarters during the summer.  I
think it would be a good idea to ban them from the attic, but don't know
how to be successful in a safe way for the bats.  Does anyone have advice?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bats!

[Elizabeth B. King]

Thanks John for identifying our bat. I'm sorry it's gone. A few years ago 
we took a birding trip in the UK. The co-leader was Patty Briggs who is a 
bat expert in England and she instilled in us a real appreciation of bats. 
She told us how some bats hibernate in some of the huge ancient cathedrals 
in the UK and they are definitely tolerated there. They just cover up the 
very old carved wood surfaces to protect them from the bat poop and let the 
bats stay. Elizabeth King

I would contact Victoria of Wild Things Sanctuary, you can find contact
info for her at:

She takes care of a lot of bats.

[cayugabirds-l] Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bats!

[alyssajohnson0]

Betsy, I'd love to see your picture. Also, there are both tree and cave bats it 
NY. Typically the tree bats are here in summer and migrate. Cave bats are the 
ones we find in our attics this time of year. Attics make great pseudo caves! 
There are multiple species of each. I recently wrote a blog entry on them, if 
interested!

I'd be interested in the answers you get. We have had bats hibernating in
our garage for years. We've sealed up every possible entry space but they
still get in. They live in our bat house in the summer but they prefer
the warm garage in the winter. We had a beautiful orange (!) bat on a
deck railing last month. I can send a picture if anyone can identify it
for me. Thanks, Elizabeth King

Does anyone know of a bat expert
in Ithaca - perhaps at Cornell or IC?  We had two bats show up in
our house last night, a little after midnight!  We have no idea how
they got in, and we were unable to catch them in our bat net and release
them, so they no doubt will show up again.  They didn't fly around
much, unlike the ones that get in during the summer.  Does anyone
know if they hibernate in people's attics in Ithaca or should they be off
in a cave somewhere?

Thanks!

Betsy

[cayugabirds-l] Bats

[Susan Fast]

I started my occasional nighthawk survey from my house this evening.  None
of those yet, but a scan with the scope revealed 11 BATS!  This is far more
than I usually see here, and is an encouraging sign.

[cayugabirds-l] Bats, not birds

[Ann Mitchell]

Chris, hope this is okay to report.  This evening while sitting on my deck
in Eastern Heights, I saw at least 3 Little Brown Bats.  I thought that was
pretty cool, especially since their population is on a downward spiral.  I
will try to keep track of them.
Best,
Ann Mitchell
