De La Cruz, Jesse Ford, William M. 20210402 Unanalyzed, raw input data Blacksburg, VA U.S. Geological Survey https://doi.org/10.5066/P952SZ6O These data contain located day-roosts for the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) at the North River Game Land, North Carolina in May and June of 2019. Data contained include individual bat tracked, date day-roost was found, day-roost unique ID, geographic coordinates of day-roost, tree species of day-roost, diameter breast height (cm) of day-roost, day-roost decay-stage, bat roost height, percent of exfoliating bark on day-roost, surrounding canopy closure and day-roost type (live tree or snag). Data were obtained to characterize the day-roost ecology/selection of the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) in a Coastal Plain swamp of eastern North Carolina. 20190508 20190628 ground condition Complete None planned -76.1929 -75.7535 36.5186 36.0181 North River Gameland, Camden and Currituck counties, North Carolina USGS Thesaurus mammals trees bats USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:5faed0cdd34eb413d5df4f25 GNIS North River Game Land Camden County Currituck County Coastal Plain none none Jesse De La Cruz Conservation Management Institute Research Associate mailing and physical

We tracked radio-tagged bats daily to day-roosts using VHF tracking receivers and continued this process until transmitters were shed, malfunctioned, or depleted in battery life. We tracked bats simultaneously until the bat(s) were located or for a minimum of 4 hours of ground effort for each tagged bat. Upon location, we recorded day-roost GPS locations and assess species and characteristics. Silvis, Alexander Ford, W.
