How many bat species do you think there are in New York? Only two? Seven? Nine? There are actually nine different species, three of which migrate to survive winter and the remaining six hibernate. One of the most common species is the little brown bat.

When I was growing up, I have a distinct memory of watching bats swoop and spiral through the summer sky as evening descended. I knew they were hunting for bugs to eat, but I never realized how many insects they consumed. Some bats can eat between fifty and one hundred percent of their weight in bugs in one night! Come learn more on Saturday, September 12th at Creatures of the Night.

One of the many flowers that was seen during our Wildflower Walk was common boneset. This plant got its name from the curious look of its leaves. They appear as if two separate leaves have been fused together; this gave rise to the early belief that this plant could be used to treat broken bones. Any day the blossoms will open!
