I will be headed to Nicaragua to help with a bat research study with Dr. Carol Chambers. We'll be associated with Paso Pacifico (http://www.pasopacifico.org). If all works well with internet connections, I'll be posting here.

More really great pictures from Carol in Nicaragua. They are up to 6 nights of trapping, 171 bats representing 29 species! Carol said she met her first common vampire (top) a couple of nights ago. "Each night we're still capturing new species. Other nifty bats included the fringed-lipped bat (eats frogs), greater white-lined bat (looks like a hostess cupcake), proboscis bat (tiny), greater fishing bat, lesser fishing bat." Can't wait!
I now know the bats pictured, from top to bottom are:
Common vampire
Greater fishing bat
Seba's short-tailed bat
Proboscis bat
