Whipples Point

I continued my hike and parked my car at western light. Then i walked around whipples point. A good spot to go looking for amethyst and quartz. Found two pieces of amethyst along with pieces of jasper. Also sighted a Red Bat - Lasiurus borealis. It is a migrant bat. My friend Peter commented on a couple of the distinguishing features that were clear from my picture such as - furred dorsal side of the uropatagium (skin between the legs that encloses the tail) this separates it from the Myotis sp. like the Little Brown Bat. Based on colouration and the facial features (few other Canadian bats have red flesh on the face). Other bats in this genus have black fur edging the ears as well as the back ruf having black, brown, and white fur mixed in. This is a great find! hanging upside down in a tree fast asleep!
