Abstract

We report an instance of a large number of Myotis bats, probably Myotis lucifugus (Little Brown Bat), landing on a fishing vessel and roosting overnight on it and on some of its gear ∼110 km from the nearest land in the Gulf of Maine. This sighting was considerably beyond what would be considered a normal distance from land (∼10 km) for these bats to fly.
