What were you using for detectors?  And roughly at what frequencies were th=
e main outputs noted?  (40 or 60 khz)?

Hello all,

We have a bat monitoring program at ACAP Cape Breton were we record 'sighti=
ngs' with bat detectors. White nose syndrome showed up here around 2 years =
ago so numbers plunged last summer and seem to be continuing to fall.

So far this year we've detected bats, one little brown bat, and a small han=
dful of migrating hoary bats, at our Ben Eoin site. Those who are intereste=
d can find past reports here: http://www.acapcb.ns.ca/#!articles--reports/c=
li6 I'm told that the most recent report will be up in the next week.

Best,
Jen

I had one bat flying over a meadow at the second stop on my bird breeding r=
oute. That was just on the eastern outskirts of New Ross, about 5:20 AM on =
June 25.

Thank you for this Andrew.  I will try your method in my area and hopefully=
 will see a few.  I will send an update if any are seen.
( the major challenge for me will be to stay up that late :).
