The Fifth of #FatBatWeek 2026: Western Big-eared bat and Cranberry Cheesecake. Shout out to @albertabats.bsky.social, @wildlifeacoustics.com, @azbatrescue.bsky.social, @honkifurhoary.bsky.social who suggested the bat species. Half way through the week already!

A long eared bat with a simple but lumpy nose sits on top of a square slice of layered pink cheese cake with generouse thick bands of cranberry jam and a garnish of fresh berries.

- During spring/summer female bats tend to prefer warmer roosts to raise their young. - During winter, bats usually prefer cold roosts to allow them to lower their body temperature to hibernate. - Different species roost in different places.

First success! Needs a bit of sanding around the edges, then it’ll be perfect. I’ll post a how-to soon!

The Bird of the Day theme is "mouthful", any bird with a mouthful. This should qualify... A yellow crowned night heron with a large crayfish, taken at Murfree Springs wetlands in Murfreesboro, Tn. #BirdOfTheDay #yellowcrownednightheron #originalphotography #wildlife #nature #birds

@alan678.bsky.social says today's alternative #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Mouthful. This Pied-billed Grebe meant well when it presented its baby with a crayfish it caught, but it was way more than a mouthful! 🤣 #birds #EastCoastKin #photography

"What have I done?" - female merganser after struggling, then successfully swallowing a large crawdad/crayfish. I had to include the series for the #birdoftheday theme of #captionthis or the last one wouldn't convey the situation #birds #ducks #merganser #protectnature #EastCoastKin

A bat fell out of the eaves here and seemed a plump little kiwi fruit w no visible signs of injury. So we put the bat in the sun to warm up, in a higher spot. Flew off after a few minutes. Hopefully to find a cozy bat colony shelter. Interrupted hibernation? (yes yes we all know not to touch bats)

feeling lost alone & hopeless at the prospect of being without AO3 for 15 hours? don’t despair- there’s another highly addictive website out there just waiting for you. it’s got heated rivalries. it’s got behavior: mating. and so much more. that’s right. it’s iNaturalist.

From the National Audubon Society's FB page: "The Hooded Merganser is a handsome diving duck with a taste for crustaceans, small fish, and aquatic insects. Their eyes are specially adapted to account for light refraction underwater, making them fearsome—but undeniably beautiful—hunters of crayfish."

$A Hooded Merganser duck holding a freshly caught crayfish in its beak. The Hooded Merganser has a black head with a white patch on the top rear of its head. It has striking yellow-orange irises, and their eyes can account for the diffraction of light underwater while hunting.$

I have seen a number of American bitterns over the year, mostly holding very still and pretending (very convincingly) to be blades of grass. Today I got to watch one catch and eat a crawfish!!! Southeast Texas, December 2025. 📷 🪶 1/3
