We're in the middle of another disastrous year for North American bats: White-nose syndrome, the bat-killing fungal disease that's been sweeping the country, has reached Alabama, Delaware, and Missouri.

Nearly 7 million bats have died since the white-nose outbreak in 2006. http://action.biologicaldiversity.org/o/2167/t/5243/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=10071
