Bats! [View all]

Since DU still does not have a dedicated wildlife or ecology forum I will post here. There are more than just birds and birders in the world. To not have such a dedicated forum is the same as not having a gender and orientation forum. For obvious reasons, why not???!! have a dedicated wildlife/ecology forum? Politics and climate change have huge impacts on wildlife. That said, there are many of us who simply love to share our experiences and observations of wildlife. Please add a wildlife/ecology forum.

Anyhow, in southern Arizona we have the gift of the presence of endangered nectarivorous bats feeding from our hummingbird feeders and night-blooming cacti. Here are two recent videos from my yard:
