Abstract:
A bat blitz is defined as “a gathering of bat biologists in the woods for the purpose of netting bats, recording bat calls, talking about bats, thinking about bats and dreaming about bats.†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. Brownrigg discusses the people who conducted the survey, what they learned, and life after the blitz.
