You've got the timeline right. Sadly I wasn't there to see the bat he found. Did it survive- did you release it again? Poor thing, but cool to see up-close

Oh cool! I bet that was really fun. The bat that Andy found...was really more like an accidental find, and it wasn't in great shape when he brought it to the mofep house. I guess maybe that was the spring you were doing tortoise surveys? I worked with you in the fall, and then I stayed for the spring, and then you came back the next fall right? I have all of my time-lines screwed up. But I think maybe you weren't there for Andy's bat after all.

Heya Rain! What bat that Andy found? This is one of the ones that was caught when the researchers were in the park doing mist netting one night and we went out to help. p.s. I hope I get to find some mist-netting to help with at Acadia this spring...so much fun!

Hey Fiana! Is this that bat that Andy found? I was just thinking about how now that I know what I'm looking at, I thought that bat was a red bat.
