Focus of research was locating maternity colonies and daytime roosts of Myotis lucifugus and Myotis septentrionalis with radio tagged individuals on Mount Desert Island. 38 bats of four species were captured and 14 were tagged with radio transmitters and 7 tracked to roosting locations. The clay roofing tiles of the Abbe Museum was the one large colony located through radio telemetry. Additional roosts were also located outside of the park.
