Bats of the Northeast

Analyze the biology, behavior, and ecology of local bat species through a combination of indoor study and guided fieldwork. You'll develop skills in observing, identifying, and documenting bats using both visual cues and acoustic monitoring techniques. Through hands-on sessions, you'll be introduced to recording and analyzing echolocation calls, and interpreting bat activity patterns to better understand how these winged mammals navigate within urban ecosystems.

By the end of the course, you'll be equipped with practical field and analytical techniques to conduct presence/absence surveys, assess conservation considerations, and contribute meaningfully to ongoing research, citizen science efforts, and local stewardship initiatives across New York City.
