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 backyards, 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.
