Yukon Bats
Finding batsBats are common summer residents of southern and central Yukon. Colonies occupy natural and artificial roosts. They range as far north as the Ogilvie and Wernecke mountains, north of Mayo, and the Yukon River, northwest of Dawson City. Bats often introduce themselves to us by moving into our roofs, attics, eaves or walls of cabins and houses, where they scratch, squeak and leave droppings. Bat typesTelling bats apart is difficult unless you have one in hand, something we don’t recommend. But, unless you live in the extreme southeast of Yukon, you can expect to see only the hardy Little Brown Bat. |
