Buffalo River Floats's blog

We knew we had a Bat Cave on our property and just recently the US Wildlife asked to fence it so we can protect the endangered bats.  They have completed the project and it makes the entrance more visible.  We are lucky to have such a find on our property and were concerned that if people tried to enter it, it would surely endanger the Bats.  They found it is also a maternity cave and we love to watch the Bats exit in the sunset and return in the very dim morning light.  It is also one of the reasons we have no Mosquitos and there are viturally none here in the Ozarks as there are many caves with bats to keep them away. 

 You can sit out at night and watch as they go on their late evening prowl for bugs.  If someone asked me many, many years ago what I would think about seeing bats, I would have said they were crazy.  Being a city girl, I am not proud to say I was afraid of everything.  Now, since living here I enjoy all of nature and appreciate what the Bats do.   So come on down, have a campfire and watch the Bats from your own personel chair as they go on their nightly journey.
