During our 1 ½ hours that we spent in Klienstuck, we saw the sun set over the marsh and felt the cool mist envelope us while the earth breathed a sigh of night life. We were in for another fantastic ?show? listening to Nate Fuller demonstrate insect and owl calls (remember the frog walk?!). Dr. Maarteen Vanhof (ecologist, environmentalist, and bat expert from WMU) taught us about bat anatomy, ecology, ecolocation and issues concerning people-bat interaction. See site www.wmich.edu/bios/faculty-staff/faculty-profiles/vonhof.html for more information about Maarten.
For those of you who missed the sounds, check out these sites: www. buzz.ifas.ufl.edu/a00samples.htm Owl site that has calls for each species. www.owling.com/
It is so very special that we have these experts who are willing to share their time, knowledge and experience with us!
