The Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Iowa State University are looking for volunteers interested in helping track bats in the dark.
DNR wildlife biologist Stephanie Shepherd says they’re looking for people to driver designated routes in Hardin, Marshall, Jackson, and Dubuque counties.
“The volunteers drive very slowly along this route with a big microphone on top of their car. What they are doing is they are recording bat calls. It gives us an idea of how much bat activity and what species are in an area,” Shepherd says. She says some people may not like the idea of being out at night with bats.
