INTERNATIONAL BAT APPRECIATION DAY
National Bat Appreciation Day occurs annually on April 17th. April is the best time of the year to observe bats, as they are now beginning to emerge from hibernation. National Bat Appreciation Day is also an excellent time to learn about the role bats play in nature.

It takes a special kind of skill to turn an innocuous thread about Bat Appreciation Day, into a slam on liberals.
I showed you the peer reviewed science before that wind power is vastly safer for avian and bat species than fossil fuels and nuclear power.
So much vastly safer in comparison, they are not even in the same ball park.

Bats: The Unseen Ally
Few animals in history have been so misunderstood and maligned as bats. For centuries, these flying mammals have been associated with evil and death, and reviled as carriers of disease. The media has perpetuated these myths, portraying them as frightening, bloodsucking, rabies-infested flying vermin, giving a bad rap to creatures that really do a lot of good. However, in the last couple of decades, thanks to the efforts of conservation groups and federal and state wildlife agencies, bats are being seen in a different light for the valuable role they play in our ecosystems.

They eat a lot of mosquitos. I love them!
And opossoms eat a lot of lyme disease carrying ticks.

Wind may be the clean energy source of the future, but even renewables take an environmental toll. Wind turbines, for instance, are bat death machines, and a new study offers clues as to why: Bats may be flocking to the whirling steel towers to catch a meal.
It’s well-established that bats and turbines aren’t friends. Researchers have estimated that hundreds of thousands of bats die at the blades of North America’s wind industry each year. Many more are killed by the drop in air pressure around turbines, which can cause their lungs to rupture.
Every life matters
They are apparently important pollinators as well.
I know some people who built bat boxes on their property to attract bats, and leverage them for pest control.
I sometimes wonder if American agriculture has seriously considered leveraging bats as a replacement for at least some pesticide applications.
