Tallahassee, Florida

I will be in Tallahassee, Florida for work in a couple of weeks. It is a short and busy trip but I’m hoping to at least have evenings to do quick mammal searches. In particular, I’m interested in round-tailed muskrat and marsh rabbit. If there are good spots for rodents or bats, that would be great, too.

Bat Blitz 2012

The SBDN has announced the 2012 blitz. May 20-24 at Apalachicola National Forest and vicinity,
Florida Panhandle. A pretrip to see an emergence of Southeastern Myotis would be high on my list. And a good opportunity to try for Round-tailed Muskrat, hopefully get some tips from local biologists. See
