Near the Ohio River I came upon a pair of mist-nets and microphone and “Song
Meter”.
The mist-nets were furled.
Later I ran into a couple of guys and ask about the mist-nets. They were using
the mist-nets for bats. During the day they were trapping small mammals and in
the evening until about 1AM they were capturing bats.
