Hi Ruth,

I don't know about bat research specifically in the area, so perhaps
someone will weigh in who does. But in general, I think the default for
non-bird nature observations is to submit them to iNaturalist (A Community
for Naturalists ยท iNaturalist <https://www.inaturalist.org/>). I think many
researchers who are interested in collecting citizen-science data will keep
an eye on iNat observations - and in many cases there are projects within
iNaturalist that you can add observations to.

But again, I'm just saying this as a general point, so please anybody with
more specific info, let us know.

Best,
Tim
