TN Bat Tracking

During our second year of following Indiana bats out of hibernation from northern Tennessee, we tracked one bat approx. 60 miles north into Kentucky (just south of Danville). She used a dead tree just south of Yosemite, KY on her way, but then we lost her signal due to weather.

Macros and snow

We knew it would be cold, but we were ok with that. Our long journey in the warm truck ended with a cold blast from the Tennessee winter. Although we were prepared with warm layers and water-proof gear including chest waders, it was not enough for me. After spending about an hour in and out of the water, we settled onto the seine to pick bugs.

Review - Muck boots

Very comfortable, but easy to tear the soft part along the calf. I think that has happened twice so far. If you are careful (which we are not), they are very good for long term wear during the day or night.

Review - Black Diamond Icon headlamp

Review – I love it! I have had a number of headlamps in the past five years and this is by far my favorite, so much so that I bought it twice…because I lost the first one. L Now, if you are looking for a heavy duty, car headlight brightness, will last a month type of headlamp like the ones that require an external battery pack, this is probably not for you.
