-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [SWR CAVERS] A request for info on translocation of bats Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2016 12:24:40 -0700 From: Steve Peerman <gypca...@comcast.net> To: SWR Cavers Group <swrcav...@googlegroups.com> Hello everyone,   I am compiling data on accidental bat translocations, both domestic and international, for a presentation in April. After completing a fairly extensive review of the published literature, a query posed to a separate listserv turned up several more anecdotal reports of great interest, so am I broadening our search. We are primarily looking for incidents that may have been reported in a local newspaper, newsletter, agency report, or in an email or phone call. If you are aware of an incident in your state, would you please complete the table below and send it back to me?  The first line is an example.  This if for all types of translocations – by air, boat, rail, truck, etc. I would appreciate receiving your information by the end of February.   Thanks,   Tory Rhoads Fish and Wildlife Technician Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game PO Box 110024 Juneau, AK 99811-0024 tory.rho...@alaska.gov   Source Transport Method Specific Location Bat Was Found Condition of Bat Fate of Bat(s) Number of bats Date Species (if known) Origin Destination Notes Email to ADFG cruise ship found lying in the open on Deck 6 “exhausted and a little bedraggled looking" turned in to ADFG 1 7/14/2015 MYLU Ship outbound from Seward, but bat probably came aboard somewhere near or south of Hubbard Glacier. Hoonah "I can only guess that he was blown onboard due to the strong winds that evening while we were transiting nearer to land. "                                               Steve Peerman "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."     attributed to Mark Twain, but no record exists of his having written this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Southwestern Cavers of the National Speleological Society" group.
