Bat population decline continues as expected

Recently completed DNR bat surveys have recorded declines up to 94 percent in affected locations across the state, compared to counts prior to March 2015 when the DNR first confirmed the presence of the disease in Minnesota. A 90 percent decrease was observed at Soudan Underground Mine in northeastern Minnesota, where the disease was first confirmed in the state. A 94 percent decline was observed at Mystery Cave in southeastern Minnesota. (Minnesota DNR)

Annual Minnesota bat count shows continued effects of white-nose syndrome.
