If the link doesn't work just search for "In Wisconsin" and watch the "this week" version.

Very nice piece with excellent photos. Dave is well-spoken, and has been following WNS since its inception. Wisconsin is doing the right thing by getting baseline data. We did not have that luxury in the Northeast.

That's a really good video, thanks for sharing! I think those who say that scientists are using WNS as a way to get research dollars also need to watch the video. Redell donated $10.000 of his own money to fund his research, an amount he said is half of his annual salary. He is evidently a very dedicated bat researcher and it sounds like Wisconsin is doing a great job collecting baseline data.
