#introduction
(A new account for teaching/research stuff).
I teach wildlife and GIS courses at a field campus (State University of New York - College of Environmental Science and Forestry) in the Adirondack Park.
Most of my research focuses on bat conservation, bioacoustics, occupancy modeling, spatial analyses...but also involved in collaborative projects with trail cameras, bird research, etc.
Love to connect with other BIPOC in science.

Last evening’s bat emergence at Bracken Cave Preserve. This goes on for 3 hours each night as the almost 20 million Mexican free-tail bats head out to feed. This was taken from our patrons’ viewing area which is across from the view I posted yesterday. (I had to relearn video format conversion to post this and was too tired to do it last night when I got home.)

Went out to a guided tour by the local Naturschutzbund to see some bats near the local old village mansion.

I saw many bats mainly the common pipistrelle and the bigger serotine bat. They were hunting mosquitoes over the mansions yard. Their calls were made audible with a device that lowered the calls to human detectable frequencies.

They sleep in the mansions tower and during the winter around 30 individual bats hibernate in an old tunnel.

Bat flies into woman's mouth in Arizona, costing her nearly $21,000 in medical bills
Erica Kahn, who lives in Massachusetts, wasn't insured when she had a close encounter with the flying mammal at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
Since bats use echolocation, the risk of rabies might have been elevated.

Her insurance issues are typical in the USA.

"The company said it had spent £2.1m on land at Willow Road to be used as a short-term car park but with an option to develop it for production later. Games Workshop has been approached for comment on the extent of the delay and any cost implications.”

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about bats, so much variety!

Good morning everyone 🌞 I'm up early with the parrots again this morning and having a lovely wee cuddle with her Zigginess, who is sitting in my hand, grumbling away with contentment, while Toby throws food around the room 😊 By food I mean vegetables. Just like a child he'll hoover up all the nice, sweet fruit, but isn't keen on veg. He seems particularly adverse to carrots, which he'll hunt down and fling all over the place, no matter how well I hide them in his bowl 😂

The heating came on for a bit this morning I noticed. It's also noticeably darker when I get up now. Our bats have already left as well, which is early for them. It's usually mid August before they head out to wherever bats overwinter. They had a good breeding season though, so I wonder if they left early to settle the young in their other, mysterious home 😊

Work today. Ho hum

Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗

Now with video, hopefully. This is an update to my earlier post with the addition of motion. This was taken at a recent bat emergence at Bracken Cave, Texas. This colony is the world’s largest concentration of mammals. It is a maternal colony of Mexican Free-tail bats that gathers each summer to birth their pups. 20 million bats (estimated) leave the cave each night at this time of the year as the pups are old enough to fly with their mothers to feed on mostly agricultural pests to our south east. This nightly exodus last about 3 hours every summer night.
