There's a new disease that is killing our bats. A educational but very sad read

Bats are a very amazing creature . They can use their sonar capabilities to zap 500 insects per hour ! We like to watch them at dusk in the summer while they zap insects which cluster around the nearby trees . Like honey bees , fungus ,mites and other diseases can devastate their populations . I hope they soon can help these mammals before they beome another memory in the demise of wildlife on this planet . Here's a link to a 76 yr .old photographer named Kim Taylor who took extreme measures to freeze the action of bats drinking water from his pond . The results are awesome ! Dan , your aunt Joan sent me the email & I easily found it on Google Images to get the link .
