Bat Houses

1 / 20

Lois Bloomenthal convinced the local utility company where she lived on Grand Cayman Island to mount her bat houses on utility poles. The houses were built by prisoners in a special work program. The houses were very successful and were the island's only known free-tailed bat roosts left standing after an extra severe hurricane. These houses provided 3/4-1-inch-wide roosting crevices.
