Bats, bats, and bats oh my!

 

Western Red Bat maternity roost - adult is the bright red colored bat (lower) and her two pups are the darker red color.  Those knobby projections near their faces are their wrists.  The bats were about 25 feet above me when I took this picture.

 

 

 

The Red Bat gets her new radio transmitter.  The transmitter will fall off when she molts her fur (in about one month) - although the transmitter will often fall off well before that time period.

 

Here, the female Hoary Bat receives her radio transmitter.  Notice that she's a bit bigger than the Red Bat?

 

Mom is to the lower right while her two pups are to the top and left in the picture.  They were about 25 feet above the ground and I'm taking the picture using a flash.
