Today’s Reflection:

It’s a lazy summer Sunday. Enjoying every minute of it.

It was nice to watch the Broncos beat the Chiefs on live TV. It was a good game.

I have to admit it… I am very spoiled by Amazon Prime and Walmart delivery service. They make it much too easy to spend money and have it delivered free to your front door.

Cool to know:

There's a word for animals with partial pigment loss.

Albinism is the congenital absence of any pigmentation or coloration, but leucism is a different rare condition where some pattern or color remains.

 

Colorado Wildlife:

Physical Characteristics

The canyon bat is the smallest of Colorado's bats. It is easily recognized by its slow, erratic, butterfly-like flight. It has short, black ears, grayish brown pelage and a distinctive black mask making it one of the most attractive bats in North America. The size of this bat can only be appreciated at close range. In the air, it appears fragile. The slightest breeze blows it off course or causes it to stall. The canyon bat weighs less than four g, little more than a penny. Other measurements are: wingspan, 190-215 mm; total length, 68-75 mm; and forearm, 29-31 mm.

Range

This species is found throughout the desert southwest. It ranges as far north as Washington state and east to Oklahoma. In Colorado, it is found at lower elevations on the Western Slope and in the extreme southeast.
