Hi List,
I found an extremely sick Hoary Bat (Lasiurus cinereus) while birding
this afternoon in Great Falls. It died shortly after I encountered it. I have
seen other Hoary Bats around here. These bats should be avoided if found in
an unhealthy state. This species has been known to carry rabies in Virginia.
