Has WNS finally made it that far west?
NY DEC was very excited to report that bay numbers were finally increasing again. Since the epicenter for WNS in the US was in the next county over it was great news!
First case was a couple years ago but not much from there.
I have only begun to look into this years decline.
My first guess would be the fires in the mountain areas and along the migration path.
Many of the old barns and building have been removed of renovated.
Pesticide from the berry growers though secondary ingestion?
In 21 years of business we have disrupted the migration of three of the largest colonies know in 2 counties (something to see when they return the next year, bats everywhere clinging to the exterior)
Many I just fixed them all....
