Abstract:

During August of 2004, a survey of the bat species in the Uwharrie Mountains and the Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge in Western North Carolina was conducted. The state is home to fourteen bat species. They are insect eaters and prefer to be near water in swamps and streams. Like populations in the rest of the country, the state's bat population is declining because of habitat destruction, killing, disturbance of colonies, and pesticides.
