Bats in Northwest Ohio

// October 4th, 2011 // environment, field recordings

   

The recording presents sounds obtained while mist netting with biologists of Northwest Ohio studying local bats (e.g. Big Brown Bats.) Of primary concern is white nose syndrome, a deadly condition noted for its distinctive fungal growth around the muzzles and wings of the affected bats.

(My thanks to Jessica Sewald and the Department of Biological Sciences at BGSU, as well as the folks at Kinokophone (Manchester, England), who included my field recording at their July 24 Kinokophonography event.
