Big Brown Bats are one of the species of bat found in New England. They are nocturnal, and mostly live in forests or in structures such as barns and attics. They eat insects, and hunt using echolocation. This means that they produce ultrasonic sounds and then listen for how they bounce off their surroundings and return. This lets them construct a comprehensive image of their surroundings, including the tiny insects that they hunt. This guy came to us a little thin and malnourished, but we gave him plenty of food and rest, and he was just released a few days ago 🙂
