New monotypes 2025

Mullowney Printing Company has published my six new monotypes featuring images of a Townsend’s big-eared bat. Classified as a State Sensitive Species in Oregon, this bat is experiencing population decline due to factors such as human disturbance, habitat loss, disease, pesticide use, and climate change. These and other insect-eating bats play a vital role in pest control, and conservation efforts are underway to protect them.
