One of the many things I haven't been able to find out is whether bats come back to the same feeding grounds each summer, and more specifically whether they remember where they nested last year.
We've got the pond/marsh so there's a food source. As far as coming back to the same place I'm certain they do. I've spoken to someone who is familiar with our property and he remembers the bats being here well over a decade ago and occupying the same roost. I'd bet the bats living here now were born here (and their parents too). We want to provide more and better places for them to live and thrive here as they're losing habitat all around us.
