This past weekend Texas Wild made their way down to Quitaque to mist net for bats at Clarity Tunnel. Thought the trip didn't quite go the way we planned, forgetting keys and sick crew members, we still persevered! Due to the lack of keys, the mist net location was moved into Caprock Canyon, more specifically a river bed just below our camp site, where we netted two species of bat, the Pallid and Canyon. As per usual standard operating procedure we camp without a tent and enjoyed a night filled with bats, a mesquite fire and heavy heavy dew.... we hope you enjoy this short video giving you a brief view into a night well spent!

This is a brief look into the latest bat cave Texas Wild filmed. We would like to thank our friends (Hi and the gang, you know who you are) for letting come down to south Texas and explore your land, film your bats, cliff swallows and of course, Walker. Best Wishes!
