Jimbob, you can still see swarms in many places. As I said in a previous thread, hopefully there is a 'southern demarcation' of where WNS will occur due to heat/moisture issues (I'm not an expert, just hoping here). If you are interested, caves.org and batcon.org have a lot of info. People still visit north Alabama to see the bats swarm here, and there are still plenty of them.

White nose hits bats in Maine, USA. I didn't realize that it's a WW problem. It's spreading across the USA and Canada too. So sad and so potentially catastrophic.
What helpful and beneficial creatures these brown bats are.
They live under the roof of my garage here in Mass. USA. I see them each evening going to to eat.
Here is a photo of a still OK brown bat inside our cottage in Maine. We go there for a few weeks a year in the summer and it's OK that they live there too.
