"Bat Research News"

Postby kent borcherding » Thu Sep 09, 2010 4:15 pm

I have began sorting through some magazines and other bat related materials , I have issues of " Bat Research News " back to the 1st. edition in 1981.

Without counting unsure of the total number of issues , should have most issues up to present.

I am going to sort issues I wish to keep , have several issues of some.

Would like someone to have them that is an interested bat person, no charge but would appreciate it if you would make a donation to WNS research at BCI.

PM if interested .

Also I am still building and installing bat houses , trying several new designs .

There is a new design my friend , Jereon , e-mailed from Norway.

It is Morris design which has had success in Europe , and has some design features should work well here.

Also a new design incorporating the Oregon wedge bat house design with 5 chambered bat houses.

Haven't posted much because most of the houses working and installing now are in the 1,000 - 2,000 bat capacity.

Will be trying a new very durable, uv resistant poly coating instead of painting the bat houses.

Still using black locust and white oak for long lasting durable bat houses. may try a few red elm bat houses.

Some people that post here may be interested in good website - http://www.nasbr.org the North American Society for Bat Research .
