Volume 32, Issue 5 JANUARY , 2008 www.jayhawkaudubon.org BATS OF KANSAS January 28th - 7:30 pmIn 40 years of teaching in Lawrence high schools (1959-1999!), Stan Roth found that his students knew little about bats and what they did know was usually wrong. Bats are the second most numerous group ofmammals in the world yet most of us are misinformed about their lives and habits and thus many fear them. (FYI: Rodents are the most numerous group of mam- mals and also not generally popular with humans.) To counteract this ignorance, Stan has studied bats in the field for many years and passed his knowledge on to students. On January 28t h JAS will make it possible for members and the public to learn from him as well. Growing up in Olathe Stan was drawn to outdooractivities such as fishing, hunting & Scouting. It seems likely that his six grandchildren are not among the deprived kids always inside glued to computer and TV but instead get to roam with their grandfather on his ongoing projects studying Great Blue Heron colonies, cave bats, prairie dogs, ledge-nesting raptors, ferns & serpent hibernacula. In what passes for retirement, he serves as an adjunct educator/naturalist with the KS Biological Survey, consults with Prairie Park Nature Center and gives KS Natural History programs.
