he looks cute and cuddly while in the net, almost smiling really. but he/she, like most of the bats we caught on my first night of netting, go nuts as soon as you touch them, hence the leather work gloves. eric and i had a good night of netting, nabbing eight bats in five hours. it was a change of pace from the miles of 4 wheeler riding we had put in previously in the week. i think our netting will be short lived. there is still one with a transmitter attached to it which has proven to be quite illusive. eric and i will be back on tracking duty tonight.
