Hey guys! I finally realized that you weren't going to be sending emails every time you made a blog post. It only took me a month or so. I've really enjoyed reading your posts so far - keep it up!

Bats are cool
Cat - I am so jealous at all the different species of bats you guys are getting to see. I had to look up the ghost bats, because they were new to me, too. Very interesting! I wonder how many of my caing buddies have ever seen a ghost bat. Stay safe you two! Jess
