Bat House Forum

I found a really neat site with 2 webcams in a 19th-century church building in the state park where more than 15,000 little brown bats spend the summer, along with some Indiana bats.  You can go to http://www.pennfuture.org/bats/, and click on the "View the Batcam" link.  Is fun watching the bats come and go, as well as move around in the roost.

It is really neat to watch it n the evening as the bats start emerging from the roost and going out the window, and in the morning when they start coming in.  I'm usually not able to watch it very often in the morning, but the couple times I have been able to, it is unbelievable how many of them come back to the roost.   I wish I was able to make it to their Aug 13 Bat Festival.
