The MDC Method: Counting Bats with Infrared Video. Elliott, W., R., Kaufmann, J., E., Samoray, S., T., & Gardner, S., E. National Cave and Karst Management Symposium, 2005. abstract bibtex A relatively inexpensive method is presented for recording bat emergences with Digital8® or mini‑DV camcorders and near‑infrared lamps. The recordings may be visually counted or automatically counted with a computer program. The Missouri Department of Conservation developed a statistical sampling method, in which 40 percent of the video sequence is counted by one or two observers. This " MDC method " is discussed, in which a total estimate of the emergence is made with 95 percent confidence limits. A bat stopwatch counting method also is given. Some preliminary information is reported on a more expensive thermog‑ raphy method for counting bats.
