This poor little guy was dead when we found him under the bridge. Observed while collecting stream macroinvertebrates with Elizabeth Welch from Austin Youth River Watch. Since there's a pretty good general consensus that bats on the ground are not good to pick up we left him in place, and my photos might not be ideal, but later while getting ready to post them here I noticed a whitish patch on his nose. It doesn't look like the images of white-nose syndrome that I have seen online, but I'm not really sure what I should be looking for. If you know what to look for then check out the close up of the head. Also, some guy got in the paper a day or two ago because he was exposed to a bat that apparently tested positive for rabies. Don't know where that was, but it was in Austin.

This bat had roosted on a window screen at the HQ of Balcones Canyonlands NWR. I assume based on the visible tail that this is a Mexican Freetail but I don't know bats well. The image is somewhat washed out by strong flash.

I was needing a nap until this little guy flew into my office! It was very cool to see him use the hooks on his wings to climb the wall.
