From WI DNR Bat Program

Thank you to everyone who pitched in during our Great Wisconsin Bat Count in late May; now it’s time to count again!

Bat pups are testing their flying skills and our second summer count is set for July 19-21. On any one of these nights, go out at sunset to a bat house or other site where bats are roosting and count how many bats fly out.

Depending on your location, we may be able to provide you with a site to count if you don’t have one; contact us at DNRbats@wisconsin.gov. Your information helps us assess bat populations.
