Around Halloween, USGS celebrates bats and other "spooky" creatures by sharing some of its research on these fascinating creatures! Check out social media on Gabe Reyes' and Brian Halstead's projects with bats at Pt. Reyes National Seashore, CA.
WERC biologist Gabe Reyes and lead scientist Brian Halstead study the ecology of many bat species around Point Reyes National Seashore, CA. Those include the hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus), pictured. Hoary bats seem to flock through Marin County every fall and spring, yet scientists are barely beginning to develop tools to untangle the mystery of where these hoary bats are coming from and where they’re headed.
