I found the nest during egg laying and incubation and now it has two chicks.

Eating a Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) during extremely hard rain. The very-disheveled owl carried it out of the road and sat down by a rock face to let us pass.

Tricolored Bat (Perimyotis subflavus)Observer
cadecampbellDescription
Roosting in the Governor's Hall arch at ETSU. Apparently, according to other students, a bat of some sort (probably P. subflavus, like this one) roosts there, dormant, for a few days in the fall. Dozens of people pass under the arch almost every hour, but it doesn't seem to care.
