Thanks for Reporting! The current issue of the Bat House Researcher is based on reports of 359 bat houses from 133 Research Associates in 31 states. This represents a 69% increase in reporting over the previous year and is deeply appreciated. Important discoveries are already being made, and we are expanding rapidly toward the numbers required to achieve project goals. By next fall we hope to more than double the number of new houses reported. We also hope to add a staff member next year who can personally investigate unusual use patterns and confirm species identities. We are particularly pleased to welcome the participation of biologists from the U.S. Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), who will be leading experiments across the United States. Seventy-five Forest Service biologists, representing 68 ranger districts, have agreed to test three pairs of houses each, and NRCS biologists plan to test 200 houses through their cropland restoration programs in Kansas, Ohio, and Maryland. With so many new collaborators and more volunteering daily, discoveries in the next several years should be especially exciting. © Bat Conservation International, Inc., 2002.
