There are exceptions for those that care for live animals. Others that keep the zoo open to public etc won’t be at work.

Forest Service Research & Development has built the foundation for what we know about forests and fires across the country. What they do before fires—from mechanical thinning to community planning to prescribed burning—can alter how/where a fire moves & protect lives/communities. buff.ly/PfiI3qK

The greater noctule bat can, and DOES, hunt and eat freakin ROBINS in midair.

...and then it chews while continuing to echolocate.

Heheheh it "talks" with its mouth full. www.sciencenews.org/article/bats...

Mic’d bats reveal midnight songbird attacks

Sensor data reveal greater noctule bats chasing, catching and chewing on birds during high-altitude, nighttime hunts.

Another massive movement of migratory birds underway tonight — nearly 1 Billion Birds! With the full moon, you might be able to see some silhouettes zipping by. You can make your own flow maps here (just hit record): aeroecolab.com/uslights

Same. When the first countdown happened I was like “she’s a marketing genius”… then she undercut her own case by rolling out new ones every few days

Because he let her off the hook. Needed to ask a pointed question.

Migration season baby!
Sometimes you don’t even have to try to catch them. Wish more bat biologists would get out at this time of year.

Abat last night…

BatTed_1000 🦇 @batted1000.bsky.social · 10d

All amazing shows!

BatTed_1000 🦇 @batted1000.bsky.social · 14d

Yeah… we are kinda getting robbed of our best weather season. Big picture happy for the rain but..
I do vitamin D in the winter, but tbh relative to most places winter is mild, so I make it a point to spend time outside every day

This is the time of year when bats start entering caves for hibernation or “swarming” around in front of them looking for mating opportunities.

Yet another reason I need to visit the Caverns.

Antelope @wovenantelope.bsky.social · 15d

There were a few bats flying around in The Caverns during Hermanos Gutierrez on Sunday. Probably because they were playing at dusk, but that was kind of a (no pun intended) wild experience.

You read that right- there are now 1,500 official bat species known to science!
The Bioko pipistrelle (𝘗𝘪𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘢) was found on Bioko Island in Africa’s Equatorial New Guinea by former BCI Student Scholar Dr. Laura Torrent and her colleagues.

That would be sweet. Don’t see myself buying the vinyl though. That is usually reserved for my album of the year and buying in person from touring musicians

Checked it based on your recommendation. Freaking loved it until all the remixes started. Had a shot at my top 10 up to that point.

Please drop the citation for this.
60% is massive. I certainly believe an increase but even 10% would be good.
