Busy busy busy!
We've been busy processing lots of great bats here. Last night was a bit of a mess with a massive storm that rained us all out and forced us to close nets down. Winds were strong enough to rip down branches - some of which almost hit several people! Despite this we did catch some bats (pre-rain).
Also- this morning a big surprise was that two big bats were knocked down from a nearby palm tree and found by workers here where we are staying. We thought these guys were Mollosida rufus but it turns out they were Eumops sp.! Pretty exciting!
In other news- howler monkeys have decided that they like being closer to our cabins!
Tonight an exciting discovery came in the form of a NEOTROPICAL porqupine!
Sorry for the brief blog but I have to hit the hay to get up and check a harp trap in the am... photos to be uploaded soon/next!
