Big Brown Bats resting after an evening feeding flight. They do not stay at this location all night. While trying to record them in flight and record their echolocation sounds, I noticed I could hear clicking noises every time I walked by this same location. I could hear and record the sounds using a "bat detector". It converts the echolocation sounds emitted by the bats to an audio frequency that humans can hear. Really great educational "wow" device. Since they were using echolocation and not audible screeches directed my way, I figured they were trying to figure out what and where I was as much as I was them.
