The goal of this class is 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. We will end the talk with a bat/bird hike and use equipment to identify bat species in active flight. Hiking boots are suggested.Dr. Aaron Haines is Certified Wildlife Biologist and Associate Professor of Biology at Millersville University.View a full listing of Homefields’ Talks in the Fields <a href="http://www.homefields.org/talks" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
