Saturday night I went to a local Metro Park to observe bats in the wild. It was very cool and informative. There was a Park Ranger who talked about bats for a while and answered any questions that we had. She had some bat puppets and a picture of a bat wing, there were a lot of kids there. She also had these small amplifiers that allowed us to hear the sounds that the bats were making even before we could see them. We started out in a picnic area, but later walked to a nearby pond where there were many bats flying around catching and eating insects. I remembered to bring the camera, but I forgot it in the car. D'oh! Maybe next time I go I'll take pics. But for now...just picture cute little brown bats flitting through the air. *Edit* I'm putting up a pic of a brown bat, so you can see how cute they are!
