Eastern Red Bat

Lasiurus borealis

Eastern red bats are wild spirits of the woods! The best kept secret out there is that these incredible beings are living in our own back yards and hardly anyone even knows they’re there. A red bat hiding in plain sight in a green tree seems like it would be grackle bait, but they are amazingly hard to find; indeed many birders spend much of their lives looking in trees and have never seen one.

This is a bat with a wild intelligence and a playful personality; they’re fun loving little trouble-makers and a joy to get to know.
