@ChrisRhoda @Andrea_DuBoulay @outdoor_ed This condo still has lots of vacancy. But when bats are using a box or condo you can see them coming and going. Don’t think these bats leave in large groups like other species though.

Great night for a walk at Huron Natural Area with Charlotte, Parker & @Andrea_DuBoulay We wondered who’s lives in the house? Can you help us? @outdoor_ed

@N8ureNate @ChrisRhoda @Andrea_DuBoulay @outdoor_ed @Environment_Al @WrigleyCorners Hope you had a good visit to the park. The structure is a bat condo. Kind of like a bat box but with more space!

@ChrisRhoda @Andrea_DuBoulay @outdoor_ed Looks like either barn swallows or bats. Can you help us? @jp_shea @Environment_Al @WrigleyCorners
