But since portability isn't a concern -- the bats fly around the back yard, and I'm thinking of eventually building a bat house so they'll hopefully take up residence[0] -- I might have some sort of semi permanent set up in the future to do this. The main thing it seems would be figuring out the most cost-effective microphone to use. Any suggestions? -Eric Rz. [0] gives me another idea ... one of the reasons I'm interested in attracting bats is to help control bugs since I'm also planning to eventually dig a pond for koi and lotuses in the back yard. Anyone have experience recording sound under water? Any particular transducers that work well? I know there are some sonar nerds around here. Anyone know if koi make sounds? -edrz
