Residents of South Bass and Middle Bass Islands install audio monitoring devices on homes and businesses to detect bat species based on their chirps. The data are downloaded occasionally and can be made available to the public to listen to the various species' calls on kiosks inside the Lake Erie Islands Nature and Wildlife Center.
