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.
