Spring Migration Behavior of a Perimyotis subflavus (Tri-Colored Bat) from Tennessee

On the nights of 27, 28, and 29 April 2018, we used aerial radio-telemetry to track a female Perimyotis subflavus (Tri-colored Bat) as she migrated a straight-line distance of 243 km from a cave in southern Tennessee to a roost in Peachtree City, GA. To our knowledge, this represents the longest and most detailed spring migration track recorded for this species and places the Tri-colored Bat in the category of regional migrant.
