Park status based on acoustic records only (Anabat II) (Loeb 2007).; Data Source: Loeb 2007, Bibkey #649732

Park Species Detail: EXCERPTED FROM LOEB (2007) - During summer, red bats and eastern pipistrelles roost primarily in the foliage of hardwood trees (Carter and Menzel 2007). Eastern pipistrelles use a variety of hardwood species for roosting, but reproductive females prefer to use oaks in interior forest (Veilleux et al. 2004). Thus, providing mixed hardwood forests with large oaks on both the forest edge and the interior should provide roosting habitat for red bats and eastern pipistrelles., Park Species Data Source: Loeb 2007
