Bat Resources

_dsc5326For those of you who attended my recent bat class, thanks for coming out! I had a great time sharing what I know about bats and I hope you will join me in becoming a spokesperson for this amazing animal….or, for others who just happen to be interested, here are some great resources about bats.
