Pallids!

Success! I'm still working on the Pallid bat winter roost study. We finally went on a warm night, and the bats were flying, and we caught six of them. Five were males, all dressed up and ready to go, as you can see from the studly bat in this photo. It appeared that all the bats were reproductively active, so now we refer to the building they are roosting in is as the "love shack." I was going to say notice the sharp teeth on the business end of this guy, but then I'm not entirely clear which end to call the business end. Photo by Bill Hepburn.
