#HappyThanksgiving2025 (in Canada!)

We would like to take today to thank the bats for all the work they do around the planet. Our bats in Alberta are big insect-consumers - a non-paying job that benefits agriculture and forestry by reducing the costs of pest control. By reducing the amounts of pesticides used on the landscape - WE benefit by improved health outcomes. Over-looked and underappreciated - many people do not understand how important these little insectivores are in our daily lives.

But boy oh boy are they awesome!

(Starting upper left and moving clockwise - our nine Alberta bats include: Long-eared Myotis, Little Brown Myotis, Red Bat, Western Small-footed Myotis, Silver-haired Bat, Big Brown Bat, Hoary Bat and Long-legged Myotis - missing Northern Myotis in the collage! photos by Jason Headley, Cory Olson and Melissa Penney and JT Layne)

Happy #BatAppreciationDay - April 17th! Did you know that the Latin name for Silver-haired Bat is Lasionycteris noctivagans (which means "hairy-tailed night-wanderer"). Wander-well little Silver!

In late summer and fall, while the weather is still warm, bats will be active. The pattern is to feed at night and use torpor (dropping your body temperature to save energy) during the day. Bats LOVE patio umbrellas this time of year - cozy, safe, usually in a cool spot until late afternoon - it's PERFECT! There are ways to discourage use by bats if that isn't your idea of fun! LOL! We put together a little video to highlight "Batio Umbrellas"!!!

Take the bat pledge! Conservation starts with education. Learn and share your bat facts. People need to know!

Most bats only have one pup a year. One. That means every lost bat is a long-term hit to the population. Conservation isn’t “nice to have.” It’s necessary if we want bats to stick around.
