We are very happy to report that all 50 of the double bat houses mounted on utility poles on Grand Cayman survived Hurricane Ivan - a category 5 storm with winds in excess of 200 mph. The bats are still in them, and not lacking in mosquitoes to eat. These bat houses withstood 36 hours of storm, much of it in the eye-wall, and only lost a little paint. Even all the roof shingles stayed on - (we had both glued and nailed them on). Sadly, most of the bats still in attics were lost when the roofs blew away, so the bat-house bats are probably now the main population of Molossus molossus (Velvety Free-tailed Bats) here. We would like to thank Caribbean Utilities Co Ltd again for the donation of these strong, well-installed poles that have made our bat house program so successful.
