Thanks to climate change giving us shorter winters they can now
survive hibernating in more northerly places. They've been in the
NWT near the B.C. and Alberta border for at about 100 years and as
far north as Yellowknife for at least the last ten.

They eat their own weight in mosquitos every night!

I discovered that I can even Burton a bat recipe ...

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Fudgy Bat Cookies
 Categories: Kids, Cookies, Chocolate
      Yield: 36 Servings
 
      9 oz Chocolate wafer cookies
      4 oz Milk chocolate candy melts
 
  Use a serrated knife to carefully cut 18 of the cookies into
  quarters. For each bat, place 2 cookie quarters 1/4" apart on
  waxed paper. Repeat with remaining quarters. Melt candy melts.
  Drop about 1/2 teaspoon of melted candy at center of each bat,
  connecting cookies.  Use a toothpick to smooth melted candy into a
  uniform circle.  Cool completely before removing from waxed paper.
