Reply to comment by QE7 in Are some North American bat species more likely to reside in man-made structures than others, or is the choice of habitat typically consistent across all bat species? by OrganicDroid

Many migratory species don’t even migrate very far south. They winter under bark and in leaf piles. Just another reason to leave your leaves.

Everyone is always hyped about the idea of leaving leaves until I live on the property. Then all of a sudden it’s “hey u/jordanmindyou, I know you work over 60 hours a week but the lawn would look nicer if you spent your precious little free time raking it, don’t you think? I know all winter and spring and summer I said I don’t want the leaves raked this year, but now that I see that means you don’t have to rake them, I’m regretting that decision”
