Field tech Brenna Long, 27, observes a big brown bat she captured in nets strung near a pond on Chouteau Island, Mo. on June 13, 2012. Biologists are tracking the Indiana bat this summer at sites in Missouri and Illinois, hoping to gather information that they can use to help boost the endangered species.
