Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve

08 Aug, 04 PM - 11 Aug, 05 AM

This site visit will be to conduct ongoing acoustic bat monitoring transect surveys for the project described below: The purpose of this project is to collect basic bat species data via passive acoustic methods. I am already implementing a mirror of this study on the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge in southern California, with a Drew Stokes of the San Diego Natural History Museum. I also plan to conduct the same protocol study at the Forest of Nisene Marks near Santa Cruz, California. The goal is to determine bat species presence across seasons for multiple years (at least 5 years) to get a baseline of species in the area. I will walk transects while collecting bat acoustic data for a minimum of two consecutive nights each season. The information collected will be valuable as bat migratory patterns may shift due to climate change or other factors, as wind energy development continues to impact bats, and if white-nose syndrome reaches California.
