Abstract:
Mary Kay Clark, curator of mammals at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, is the state's most active field researcher on bats. There are fifteen resident bat species in the state and about half of them live in caves or mines. The work of Clark and her assistants focuses on two rare and little-known forest-dwellers--the southeastern myotis and the big-eared bat.

Abstract:
Clark recounts her fifteen-year period working with naturalist Paris Trail to learn more about big-eared bats and his contributions to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. Trail was also a artist, wildlife photographer, and newspaper columnist for the Chowan Herald and the Roanoke Beacon. His columns on wildlife observations accumulate into a book titled From Hawks to Hummingbirds: Close Encounter with Birds of the North Carolina Coastal Plain.

Abstract:
The old museum is right next door to the new North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. Estimates are that it will take at least five months to move the heavy boxes of books, delicate containers of plates, and over 3,000 live animals, not to mention the offices of nearly one hundred staff people. Walters explains what it will take to move the Southeast's largest natural history museum.
