Reports on the results of trapping and acoustic surveys conducted during the summer at MABI. The bat diversity survey was completed during the middle of the active season of temperate northeastern bats in the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park (MBRNHP). The objectives of the monitoring were to; (1) survey MBRNHP for the presence of endangered bats and (2) obtain some basic biological data on bat biodiversity throughout MBRNHP. After 5 nights of sampling (309 net-meter-nights), a total of 113 bat were captured. Neither the federally-endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) or the state-threatened eastern small-footed bat (M. leibii), were captured during the survey. The only two species captured with mist nets were the little brown bat (M. lucifugus: 75% of captures) and the northern long-eared bat (M. septentrionalis: 25% of captures).
