I tried taking a bat survey for the state's non-game species division last night in my backyard. A light rain was falling when I started.
After 20 minutes — by the time I was halfway through — the rain was coming down so hard that I had to give up for the night without seeing a single bat (or a married one, for that matter).
I will try again tonight and post my numbers. Because of the White-Nose Syndrome, these counts are more important than ever.
