Hello=2C=20
We use Wildlife Acoustics SM2 Bat+ detectors. I can't answer your second qu=
estion as I don't actually work on this project. My colleague uses a progra=
m that teases out numbers and species based on frequencies so her brain has=
n't processed yet=2C only the program has =3B) All I can say is that they h=
ave recorded one little brown bat and a few migrating hoary bats.=20
If you are interested in connecting with her I can send you her contact inf=
ormation.=20
Best :) Jen=20

We have a bat monitoring program at ACAP Cape Breton were we record 'sighti=
ngs' with bat detectors. White nose syndrome showed up here around 2 years =
ago so numbers plunged last summer and=0A=
 seem to be continuing to fall. =0A=

So far this year we've detected bats=2C one little brown bat=2C and a small=
 handful of migrating hoary bats=2C at our Ben Eoin site. Those who are int=
erested can find past reports here: http://www.acapcb.ns.ca/#!articles--rep=
orts/cli6 I'm=0A=
 told that the most recent report will be up in the next week. =0A=
