Submitting bat count data

Your data will be kept private and will not be shared. The BC Community Bat Program will use this information strictly for monitoring bat related activities.

If there is more than one roost being monitored at this address, please fill out this form for each roost separately.

STEP 1: General information

Address

What address is this count being preformed at?

Landowner's information

Person organizing this count

STEP 2: Roost details

Name the bat roost

Please give a name to this roost. If there is more than one roost (location where there are bats) on this property, give a descriptive name to each one:
  • Example 1: John's bat box on the main house
  • Example 2: John's bat box on the post in the back yard

If you are submitting count data multiple times for the same roost, please try to use the same roost name each time. That will help us track data correctly.

If you know coordinates for this roost, please enter Longitude and Latitude or UTM

We assign an ID to each known bat roost. If you know the ID for this roost, please enter it here. If you would like to know the ID for your roost(s) contact us via email at kootenay@bcbats.ca or leave blank.

If you don't know your ID, please contact KCBP.

STEP 3: Count data

How to add up your counts.

Please write only the total number of bats counted in the "total number of bats" field. Details can be added in comments
  1. If more than one person counted the same exit, average those numbers.
    • Eg. Mike's Bat box: Counter 1 counted 45 bats and Counter 2 counted 49 bats.
    • Total=(45+49)/2=47 bats
  2. If several counters counted an exit and there is more than one exit for the same roost, combine those numbers.
    • Eg. South exit of house: 34 bats and North exit of house: 89 bats.
    • Total=34+89=123 bats
  3. If several counters counted more than one exit, do as below.
    • Eg. South exit of house: Counter 1 counted 34 bats and Counter 2 counter 36 bats, North exit of house: Counter 1 counted 94 bats, Counter 2 counted 100 bats.
    • Total=(34+36)/2+(94+100)/2= 132 bats
