Love you little bat! Go have a happy happy life!
Here’s a last look at you pre-release
You look so good up there! Look at all those quick darting moves! Are you showing us how happy you are to be wild and free?
Morris! Last leaf bat of the year heads out. And what a great bat he was!
You were so much fun little bud! We’ll miss you! All the best!
Good-sized crowd – Great emergence at Congress Avenue Bridge. Even though they flew right about dark, they were backlit by the city lights and everyone down below got a great view!J
We love to watch the behavior of the bats while they are hunting. The top photo shows a red bat echolocating a moth above his head just before he loops up to attempt a capture. We’re not sure if he caught one this time, but the bottom photo shows him flying around with a moth he captured a few minutes before the top photo was taken. The photos are obviously out of focus, but they capture hunting behavior so well that we had to post them.
