Summary:
After reviewing data collected during a groundbreaking research effort, the

in the mid-Atlantic region between August 1 and September 13 of 2004.
The report summarizes the first year’s research on potential causes and
solutions. The research included the most detailed studies ever performed
on bat fatality at wind sites and provides a foundation for further efforts
aimed at better understanding why bats are being killed and how to
