Are there dead bats (littering the floor) or are the bats "missing?"
11,000 dead bats should equal a lot of dead bodies...
Mt Aeolus Bat Cave is currently the longest surveyed cave in the New England states, and is a major bat hibernaculum owned by The Nature Conservancy. Note that this cave has been closed to cavers for several years. It was re-gated in the Fall of 2004, the old gate being replaced with a large bat gate about 30 feet inside the cave which is practically impenetrable to unauthorized humans.
