Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative Atlantic turns on the bat signal!
Spring is here, and bats in Atlantic Canada are on the move. Several species are emerging after winter hibernation, flying from caves, mines, and possibly wells to their summer homes. Meanwhile, migratory bat species are flying north from southern latitudes to this region.
The Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative (CWHC) Atlantic bat team is asking the public to report sightings of the elusive nocturnal animals by calling the Atlantic Bat Hotline at 1-833-434-BATS (2287).
