One of our local species, the tri-colored bat is one of the smallest bats in North America. They are amazingly agile in the air and this one has no trouble beating the larger bats to the flying insects in the aviary.
It took forever to find this guy tucked against the ridge pole against the bright sky.
Glad we found you pup!
Sweet, early (8:33 pm) emergence at Congress Avenue Bridge last night.
Come visit us at the Austin Bat Refuge table on Friday nights this summer!
