Treating white-nose syndrome in bats just got a little harder. We are hoping we can make up funding shortfalls somehow because this is just too important.🦇 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

🦇Most bats have just one pup per year, so populations grow slowly. Over half of species worldwide are now at risk (“State of the Bats”). We need bats—and they need our help. 🦇 #SaveTheBats #BatsNeedFriends #HappyBaturday (slightly late!)

Evil monologue to the camera: I have read @tkingfisher.com that you like a specialist bee... Therefore it is time to tell you and all your friends about the death camas miner bee. * Lighting Crash and Ominous Music * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrena...

Veterinarians and vet workers are in crisis. At least in Australia is the profession with highest rate of suicide. In large part because the way they get treated by pet owners. Shameful!

🦇Take the Bat Pledge for #BatAppreciationDay!

🦇As we bid good-bye to another #BatAppreciationDay we leave you with "The Bat Blessing" and hope that you find time to appreciate bats everyday. #BatsNeedFriends

One of the biggest threats to bats in North America is white-nose syndrome, a deadly fungal disease that is spreading at an alarming rate.  Together with partners, we’re trialing an innovative treatment (1/2)

We re-initiate efforts this May! With treatment and control sites across Alberta - we will be capturing bats, monitoring bat health & applying probiotic to roosting surfaces. Early results from BC has shown that it improves survival rates for bats. Lots of questions remain though! #ProbioticProject

Here’s a feed cleanser. Dogs catching treats.

Friday is #BatAppreciationDay! 🦇 We teamed up with the City of Calgary & Calgary Wildlife Rehab Soc. at #YYC City Hall for bat outreach - connecting with staff who manage parks, buildings, and policy. Great questions, great conversations, & more collaboration ahead to help conserve Alberta’s bats!

That’s why our research is making the case for keeping connected old-growth forests standing across Western Canada. Visit our YouTube channel to learn more! @albertabats.bsky.social

🦇A wee bit of bright light today. Our friends at the Ukrainian Bat Rehabilitation Center held a festival to release their overwintered rescues. A great organization (who has shared photos with us) - look them up online. They are awesome bat friends. www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

Fun bat fact 🦇🩹: Bats are super-speed healers! Small holes in their wings can fully close in just 7–14 days. But timing matters- injuries before hibernation heal much more slowly, and may not fully recover while their bodies are in low-power mode. #TheMoreYouKnow

#FridayFieldWork Post a photo from the field! Here is our team in the lower mainland processing bats for the probiotics project. Captured bats are swabbed, measured & some are PIT-tagged then released. This is the summer "night-life" of a bat biologist (or volunteer)! 🦇 We'll soon be back at it!

We bought an #EV two years ago. Best decision ever. Drives really nicely and the range is pretty decent. It gets charged mostly with solar from our roof, so running costs almost non-existent. Not looking back!

I just think they’re neat 💁‍♀️ #bats #🦇

Goosebumps!

Venezuela's World Baseball Classic win is the country's first championship in any international sports competition since 1945 🇻🇪🏆

a great outcome for Venezuela and the sport. I just hate to think of Mark Derosa’s reaction when someone explains that he lost
