Dr. Aaron Haines started with a talk on bat research being conducted at Millersville University, then took attendees into the field to survey for bats on Homefields property.
The goal of this class was to review how to use remote acoustic recording devices to record bat vocalizations. Remote acoustic survey efforts are a cost-effective way to survey for rare bats in Pennsylvania. The talk conlcuded with a bat/bird hike, using equipment to identify bat species in active flight.
