Linville Caverns WNS

We just returned from a RV trip to Marion, NC, this past week. While in Marion, we toured the Linville Caverns which are nearby. The caverns are home to Big Brown and Pipistrelle bats. It was disappointing to learn that at least 6 of the bats which roost in the areas that are open to tours have WNS.

I tried to get a picture of one of the bats, but it didn't come out very clear:

Thanks for the photo. It is indeed another sad chapter in this continuing saga.
