i've been having an Eastern Red Bat (Lasiurus borealis) come by right at sunset the last few nights and making some very fun echolocation & social calls 😍 along with the usual crew of big browns

(dm if interested in prints) 🍃🔊
photo compilation of an Eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis) swooping by against a dark forest background. below the bat is a series of audio spectrograms showing the bat's sequence of echolocation sounds. the sequence also includes the calls and feeding buzz of a big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) captured in the background audio spectrogram of the echolocation and social calls of an eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis) getting (i think) annoyed with a big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus)
