Abstract
The state of Georgia is home to fifteen species of microbat, members of the suborder Microchiroptera. These bats use echolocation pulses from their larynx to identify their surroundings and potential prey. Through the use of Wildlife Acoustic’s Echo Meter 2 attachment for smart phone devices, foraging calls were recorded and later identified with Kaleidoscope software ver. 5.19h. Seven out of the fifteen Microchiropteran species within Georgia were identified based on foraging call characteristics.
