Cold Weather Bat

[davidbarber1]

For you bat lovers, here is a California Bat - Myotis californicus (or it could be a Western Pipistrelle - Pipistrellus hesperus, to hard to determine without closer observation). Found it while taking a break during patrol. Temp was 47f and wind speed 15-20 mph. Just had a major storm move out and the next one is moving in. I guess it got lost or it wants to get out of the weather. It could be the same bat I took pics of about 4 months ago in the same place but was not able to post them. Anyways, here it is. Sorry for the poor pics. Should be getting a better cam before Spring (I hope). Enjoy.

Oh. Oh wait, nevermind. Just kidding, pretty cool. I haven't seen a bat up close yet =p
