We have at least two that seem to be living in our barn. On the warmer days 
they fly about and I have seen them go in the barn once and fly out of it 
one time as well. My wife saw another one flying around at the Scots Bay 
beach [about 1 .5km from our home] last warm day.

We've had at least one bat flying around the house this week, clearly
looking for a place to hide out for the rest of the winter. And today, I
got some pix of a bat that is hanging from the neighbour's south-facing
window screen (might be the same one, but a half-kilometre of forest
away) -- it's almost for sure a Little Brown Bat. Hugh Broders and DNR
are now aware of its existence.
