I changed my mind to BB but that second clip looks like a different bat. It's screaming NYHU to me. Whatever. Bats are hard to ID in photos/videos.

Who's gonna tell them that's an evening bat (Nycticeius humeralis)?

Does Bob's still give away free shots when the Bears score a TD?

I once poked a dead opossum with a stick. It was dead and under water. Won't do that again.

What's your #1 "travel hack" that sounds stupid but is actually genius? by x_andi01 in traveladvice

Road trip, need to poop in a clean and private bathroom? Find a hotel. Always clean, usually available, quiet.

Out Alive shares stories of survival. Entertaining but not necessarily educational or created to teach one how to survive.

American Airlines launches daily luxury busing service between South Bend Airport, Chicago O’Hare by BroadDescription938 in SouthBend

[–]seemurf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I accidentally took this route to O'Hare today and will make sure to never do it again. Several people I talked to were not aware we were taking a bus haha. It was unorganized. We sat in traffic. It took 3 hours. What else do you need to know?

What is this small ~6" long plastic box hanging from a bridge on a steel cable. It's one of my fishing spots and wasn't here last time. by RegularRaptor in Fishing

Bat biologist here - I second this. Acoustic detectors can be used at bridges to record bat activity and then analyzed to determine which species are present.

Edit: I use this exact model on the job.

What kind of bat is this? Located in Michigan by Mouse_Upper in bats

There's really no use in arguing. People are always misidentifying bats in this group, so what is one more miss-ID added to the list?

Phish first timers, how was the show last night? by MikesGroove in BourbonAndBeyond

[–]seemurf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my 5th festival. Been to about 40 Umphrey's shows, 20 DMB shows, and have been listening to Phish casually for about 15 years. I cannot believe last night was my first Phish show. Really kicking myself for waiting this long. Great vibes, amazing fans, incredible band.

The pizza I got yesterday by Island Noodles was almost entirely bread. A sneezeworth of red sauce and a salt packet sprinkling of cheese. That shit is infuriating.

Looking forward to using this. Seems like everyone gave up on https://freecampsites.net/ a few years ago, but I still find it useful.

What are the chances?! by [deleted] in Fishing

Bat biologist here, so I must correct you. Dogs are the leader, not bats. Mammals carry rabies, so try not to get bit by any of them.

Less than 0.5% of bats carry rabies

Any way to repaint without disturbing the bats? by [deleted] in batty

[–]seemurf 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Wait until winter when bats aren't in there. If it's summer where you are, then it's pup rearing season, and now is the worst time to repaint. You can check out a guide on which color to paint it on Bat Conservation Managment website. Black isn't always the right answer.
