Bats of five species were captured during the mist net surveys. We captured four individuals of our target species, the northern long-eared bat, and attached a transmitter to the one pregnant female captured. The transmittered bat was tracked to three unique roost trees of three species. During emergence counts we counted from 2 to 13 bats emerging from these roost trees. The roosting patterns we observed at the Chippewa National Forest were similar to roosting patterns we have observed in other areas of Minnesota, where bats appear to be using a variety of available trees. This report details work done in the Chippewa National Forest as part of a statewide study of northern long-eared bats. A report summarizing results of the statewide project will be available in early 2017.enMist-netting surveyRoosting patternsLittle brown batBig brown batNorthern long-eared batEastern red batSilver-haired batTricolored batHoary batNatural Resources Research InstituteUniversity of Minnesota DuluthTechnical Report
