Since part of my research involves trying to record bats, there's a problem that makes things very difficult. Since bats are active at night, it's nearly impossible to track them, which means we can find them when they are foraging, but we can't find where they live. To try and take care of this problem, Pam Coltrain one of my research students took it upon herself to arrange for the building of several bat houses. The idea being, that if we had a place where we knew the bats were living, we could study them a lot easier. The project has proceeded in several phases. Click on the links below to view the pictures that go with each phase (some of these pages may be very slow to load due to the large number of pictures:

On April 17, 2004, Reynold's Nature Preserve held an Earthday celebration that included a group of students from the Clayton State Science Association. During the day, we assembled 8 bat houses using the "small economy size" plans from the BCI Bat House Builder's Guide. These houses are smaller, but they will be distributed at various locations in the southern crescent. We're still working on getting these put up in areas where they will serve as homes for colonies of bats.
