University of Illinois research tracked Eastern red bats through an Indiana forest over multiple years to learn their foraging and roosting habits in managed landscape. Red bats are unusual in their habit of roosting alone - except in the case of mother bats with babies, as seen here - in living foliage. Video from Elizabeth Beilke.
