Description
Dr. Erin Baerwald was generous enough to be my first guest and it COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER. We talked about the best bat AKA the Hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus)(we also agreed that all bats are good bats and there isn't really a best bat, don't worry), wind energy, animal conservation and its difficulties, beer, some questions from one of my daughters, and generally just had a great time! If you'd like to find Dr. Baerwald on Instagram or Twitter, find her @batsborealis You can find more of Give Bats A Break on Twitter @givebatsabreak or at https://givebatsabreak.com where you can get some GBAB merch to support the show and help me bring you as much good bat content as possible! Lastly but certainly not leastly, big shoutout to my friend and music producer, Maniphest, who created the opening track for me. Listen to more of his music at his SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/maniphest-1 I appreciate every single one of you and remain, For bats and their defenders, Nate 🦇✨ FdrV4WpIfuGdOgYwQXdN
