Happy #FoodlandsFriday! Guess what`s dropping at the scΜe:Ι¬xΚ·ΙyΜΙm (Salmon River)* restoration site? Bat guano! π¦
During a recent site visit, the Foodlands team noticed these bat droppings underneath bat boxes that were installed in April. We don`t know what species the guano is from, so samples are being collected and sent for DNA analysis.
It can take a long time for bats to move in so we are thrilled to see droppings already, knowing it means the bat boxes are being used! You can read more about the installed bat boxes at the blog post linked in our bio.
