- Submitted in fulfillment of a 2011 Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative grant. I used mist nets to sample bats on 12 nights, 12 August to 24 September 2011 in order to address how many migratory bats cross Nantucket Sound during the fall. There are no resident bats on Tuckernuck (pers. obs.), so any bats caught there have presumably just flown across the Sound. I opened mist nets on 12 nights 12 August to 24 September, and caught a total of 3 Red Bats (Lasiurus borealis), all on two nights in August. This was a smaller number of bats than anticipated, but I don’t think I was missing bats that were present. I saw many fewer bats in 2011 than I did in 2012, using just casual observations.
