PORTIMOM Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 When do our local bats migrate away from this area? Is that once rainy season begins? By what time of year are they gone? I’m planning on doing a project which would be greatly hampered if they were still present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bournemouth Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 I'm not sure they do leave. The climate here is good for year round residence. We may get bats from the north in winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PORTIMOM Posted April 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Someone suggested they are seasonal, when the rains come they leave for the rest of the year. Then they come back in Jan? Just trying to zero in on a month so I can schedule this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bournemouth Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 You might get more information if you ask someone like John Pint, who writes for the Guadalajara Reporter, and can probably be contacted through the paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hit my hummingbird feeders when they around and they are around now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMactavish Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 There are two basic types of bats, insect eaters and fruit. They move to where the food is. Many do not move and forage up to 50 km. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetteforron Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 The fruit bats would empty my humming bird feeder over night. They are fast hard to see. Plus a great food source in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 The fruit bats at my house are gone during the winter. I have not noticed anything different during the rainy season. Although, I must say I have fewer bats at night this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedros Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 As you can see by the previous maps migration or not and timing depends on what species of bat you are referrinf to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Maybe they are Bacardi bats. Interesting story. https://www.revolution-bars.co.uk/blog/heres-the-hidden-story-behind-the-bacardi-bat/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
