@aabluedragon you asked for pics of the bat screaming into the camera, and I shall deliver.
These are pictures from a bat Blitz I did in 2017 that I just never uploaded to Tumblr I just uploaded the video of the bat being very upset at us being pulled from the mist net and handled. All bats that we captured that night were responsibly handled, identified, and safely released back into the wild after we were done collecting our information on them. All nitrile gloves were changed in between each bat to help reduce the risk and spread of white nose syndrome as well. Fieldwork can be exhausting and like donating your living body to science but you got to get some fun nights like this with some goofy photos of very unhappy to be studied bats.
