Heavy drinker
Evening bat. This time she took a big scoop of water. Sometimes she just grazes the surface and has to stick her tongue down for a lick. We love early evening in the flight cage!

Spring Return to Uvalde area
For the second consecutive night, Mexican free-tailed bats leave the Sierras and head to Eagle Pass, then up to the Uvalde area.
Frio Bat Cave (outside Uvalde) had it’s first large emergence of the year the next night.

Evening flyer
True to her name this evening bat was out picking off moths well before dark. Injuries made her just a little too slow to make it in the wild, but she loves hunting the flight cage!
D’Hanis Bridge early Feb
Big bloom at D’Hanis Bridge, west of Hondo, the last few nights. We’ve seen little activity there all winter until just recently.
Lots of mid-winter bats
Surprisingly large blooms from Fern Cave Stuart Cave and Old Tunnel at 7:30 pm last night. Each bloom represents many hundreds of thousands of bats.
We expect big blooms from McNeil Bridge on warm winter nights, but in our experience it’s unusual to see such large blooms from the other roosts.
