Woodard Bay Slideshow

Submitted by Bert on Sun, 10/05/2008 - 11:59pm.

All the talk about the bats made me curious, so I went to see for myself. It was a nice day for a walk around the Woodard Bay DNR Natural Resources Conservation Area. I didn't see any bats though.

Bats?

I just want to see if I have this right.... "It was a nice day for a walk....but I didn't see any bats!" Perhaps if you had a flashlight with you....? But not turned on to save on the bat-teries. SEMPER VIGALANTE!

bat reference

Well I had to get a reference to the Woodard Bay Bats in there somewhere. I guess I could have found a way to insert the bat reference more tactfully or appropriately. I wasn't really expecting to see bats. But I can see why people feel stronglfy about Woodard Bay. It's a gorgeous spot.
