I witnessed the bat emergence at Bracken Cave and a pup dropped to the rocks near us. A BCI volunteer, using gloves, gently released it into the air.

Noticed this bat on the ceiling of an outdoor walkway at my work campus. Sorry for the poor photo; it was about 25 feet up and only had a cell phone camera available.

"This was a special occurrence: We had recently completed the construction of the new photo blind at the Refuge HQ, and formed it to look like a ""pseudo-cave"" type structure. Here two *real* Mexican Free-tailed Bats found it to their liking for a roosting site. Notice the ""free tail"" on one of the bats."

Couldn't get any detailed images of individual bats, but the cloud was beautiful.

This poor little guy was dead when we found him under the bridge. Observed while collecting stream macroinvertebrates with Elizabeth Welch from Austin Youth River Watch. Since there's a pretty good general consensus that bats on the ground are not good to pick up we left him in place, and my photos might not be ideal, but later while getting ready to post them here I noticed a whitish patch on his nose. It doesn't look like the images of white-nose syndrome that I have seen online, but I'm not really sure what I should be looking for. If you know what to look for then check out the close up of the head. Also, some guy got in the paper a day or two ago because he was exposed to a bat that apparently tested positive for rabies. Don't know where that was, but it was in Austin.
