Hi Chatters.
It was recently
reported that a Bat researcher noticed that his
Bat Detector did not detect any bats around
Winnipeg Airport Manitoba, Canada. He decided
that it was the RADAR that was keeping them
away. Thus it seems that a small trial of an
angler's radar on the top of, or near a windfarm might keep the bats away?
Good Birding.
