Phase 4 - checking the houses for bats

Once all the bat houses are put up, we have to monitor them to see if/when they get bats in them.  This will include monitoring temperature, etc. to determine which houses are at the optimum conditions.  Check back here to see what sorts of results we get.

10/31/2003 Here I am placing a bat into the house.  This bat was removed from a house under renovation and moved to the house to give it  a place to live where it wouldn't be running into humans as often.  This bat didn't stick around too long, but it was a start!
