OT--Little Brown Bats

[Rip Tide]

Maybe not fly fishing but still important news environmentally

We have bats in our yard (and chimney) for first time in years and we're not the only ones.
They were practically extinct in our area due to "white nose syndrome" but seem to be making a comeback !

Thats weird I was just saying to my better half tonight that I haven't seen as many bats this year as last. I figured it was due to our lack of rain and bug life. This time last summer we would sit in the back yard flicking bottle caps to watch the bats dive bomb them. I wonder if our Ohio bats have yet to figure out the change in roosting behaviour.
