Bats are common in the Hudson Valley region and even all over the state. According to NYC.gov, there are over 9 species of bats in New York State. Bats are extremely beneficial to the ecosystem. They play a huge role in controlling the insect population.
It is far more common to see bats during the warmer months for several reasons. There are more insects available. They are able to be more active when it is warmer and this is also when they breed more.
It's not uncommon for these bats to get into homes.
