I’m excited to share this new webcast: BatsLIVE, A Distance Learning Adventure. Merlin was interviewed recently in his office by Ben Swecker of BatsLIVE, while Richard Shahan video recorded for a future segment. Off camera, lots of stories of adventure and good luck were shared. 
The BatsLIVE crew will be back at Bracken Cave on September 18th for a live webcast of the bats emerging with participation from viewers. I can’t wait to watch it from home.
Merlin and I will be returning the day before from a month-long trip to Thailand (Subscribe and follow us), but we hope to watch the live webcast. I’ve had a couple of birthday parties at Bracken Cave with family and friends. My first date with Merlin was at Bracken Cave. The Bracken experience is always different but one I always enjoy.
Watching and participating in the program is easy! Just click on the webcast link that will be on the homepage:http://BatsLIVE.pwnet.org. If you cant watch the program live, it will be archived on the web site approximately a week later (on September 25) and available as streaming video.
