I believe that they will finally realize that the mortality is close to a million bats.

Yeah, but who's counting?

No, seriously, who IS counting? As you know I've asked USFWS repeatedly, and even sent a message copying all the state wildlife agencies in the East to send in data and I'll compile it. Some of those agency folks have pleaded with me to tell USFWS to ask them, but, to my knowledge, it hasn't happened. I don't get it.
