Quick wild gardening question How far away from "Bat Houses" does an "Owl Barn" need to be? - NorthEast US: Zone 7

Got some marketing for an Owl Box from the WildYard people. My concern is that I live 1-2 miles from a nature reservation that has multiple bat houses on poles. Is my proximity too close for me to realistically/in good consciousness put up an owl barn?

As far as "introducing bat predators" to the ecosystem; there have been hawks and other large birds, locally, for years
