Bats?
« on: August 19, 2019, 11:16:17 AM »
Couldn't figure why my camera was tripping at night. It turns out the Pacific NW is home of some of the smallest bats. No more than an half inch long.

Description
The Little Brown Bat is a species that is well known. It is very small with an overall body size that is from 2.5 inches to 4 inches. They also weigh no more than half an ounce. The span of their wings when outstretched can be up to 11 inches. They are brown in color and they have ears which are short and round.
It is very small with an overall body size that is from 2.5 inches to 4 inches.
The one I saw must have been a baby. It was caught in a fly catcher.
