About Batnic

E-mail Shirley's Batman  

Batnic was founded in 1995.  Since the first day I threw a rock in the sky at dusk as a child and watched a bat hone in on it, I had a curiousity about these creatures.  To my surprise, so little information was known about them and I shortly realized how ignorant I was about them.  After educating myself using libraries and the internet,  I became a full fledged bat enthusiast and gained a better understanding of these beneficial mammals.  What started as a hobby has turned into a passion.  I now dedicate much of my free time educating the public and building alternative roosts (bat houses) for our only flying mammal.  Thank's to a few wonderful people in Texas (BCI),  grassroots field study,  and other bat enthusiasts,  I can now pleasingly share some of my knowledge with others to help benefit both us and our only flying mammal.
