I just love watching you two,it makes my heart happy.

Our blueberries here in Germany grow like a carpet on the surface of the ground... once I had some grey shoes but they turned purple don´t know how... .. .

This was a great video, but what I really appreciated seeing was all those bats. So many places have been devastated by the disease call "White Nose Syndrome" that has literally wiped-out at least 6-million bats across the United States. This showed up in 2006 on the East coast and has spread across the US to the West coast and even into Canada. A lot of caves have been closed to prevent the spread of this disease, because if you've gone into an infected cave and then going into another cave that hasn't and you don't "properly clean your equipment and clothes" you will have spread it to more bats sealing their fate as well. It is a fungus called Pseudogymnoascus destructans. This primarily affects bats during hibernation causing them to wake up more often during the winters resulting in them using up their reserves causing them to die of starvation in their sleep, and it damages their wings and skin due to damage to their blood vessels too. The good news for You there does not appear to be any know cases in Florida as of this date. Bats are essential for a stable environment as they consume tons of insects controlling their populations naturally.

Here for the Bats

Does someone own the little island? Lol😅😅😅

Very cool video! I like how you boated somewhere to get the fossils. That's now on my bucket list lol!

11:35 I thought you were talking bout Mosquitoes 😂

Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventure, finding the echinoids, and the bats were super cool!!

I'm sooooo glad you and Bre are ok. I've been checking everyday. The two of you are my favorite video to watch in the morning with my coffee. The bats were amazing.

Good to see you back at it! Thanks for the Bat footage - very cool! Take care, guys!

This is where Kyle’s echinoid book will come in handy.

One of those big echinoids are totally on my bucket list. I always forget when I'm at the fossil show every year to look for them but I only find them polished generally

To have a lovely lady with an equal passion for everyday activities makes for a lifelong partner…I got lucky for 41 years…💙

Chris be careful always ,Check sorounding.first,remember there's people coming from every where.Bless you both.There's a story if you put a fairy bun,that's what they call achronoids in your pantry you will always have something to eat.

What is the brand of water boots Cris is wearing? I’m very much interested….

The little shell you found was from the Euthymella species, if im not mistaken it's probably the Elongata...there are many which are similar. You should definitely go back and camp there. An amazing place. Thank you for sowing us the Bat's so cool 😊

sea not blue?

I would love to do that. Island hop camp fish and hunt for fossils

U 2 had a beautiful day ❤lots of great finds and those bats😮wow 👋🇫🇮

Y'all need to carry protection! That 1st island freaked me out!! Btw is Bree ok? She sounds different Glad y'all posted love y'all!!😊

🥰🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

The bats are so wilddd. They are so thick that Doppler radar actually picks them up. Kinda cool

29:31 that's a lesser scalp decoy. Also known as a black head or a blue bill

When I was little we would find those things and I'd call them starfish biscuits lol

This is my third comment, this is my first video on your channel I've seen, I absolutely think y'all are are absolutely adorable and awesome I love how excited you get, the baby of the shells are just the coolest! I got to know where you were!❤

I am so freaking jealous!❤❤

OMG what beach are you on in florida? I live in titusville, and we definitely do not have rocks like that, LOL we only have Coquina rock! I have never found a whole Sea Biscuit much less a fossil of one! I've even been shelling over in sanibel, I live in Titusville right by the Indian River and we have islands like that out here, I'm going to go check but I know I won't find those LOL❤❤❤ make sure to shuffle your feet😂 2:41 Well that was too funny, as soon as I said make sure to shuffle your feet you explained it to her

Chris I'm glad to see you back putting out videos. I was worried about u bud with all the bad weather down your way. Stoked that y'all are back at it. Keep up the good work.

Oh, my goodness that was amazing! I loved seeing all the Echinoids; however, the bats were by far the most mind blowing. I've only ever seen bats colonies that large in documentaries. Thank you for bringing us along and sharing with us your wonderful finds!

Those bats were amazing!! Seeing them loop back around was too cool. Please do another video about this.

I always love your videos. The bats were so amazing and the dolphin too!

You two are so adorable! And... that was so fun! Thank you ❤

Such a great video I always look forward to seeing you and bree And the things that you find

👏👏👏 fantastic video y'all. The bats flying into the sunset was the definition of the word AWESOME. Y'ought to make that a SHORT

Those bats are awesome. Any idea what species? I actually had an adorable western small-footed myotis get into my apartment this summer. Such amazing creatures. Thanks for the adventure!

That was classic Chris and Bri! Love watching the two of you getting your science geek out on while showing your love. It's good to see what appears to be a robust and healthy colony when so many species are T&E. And our incoming government could care less.😢😢 Thanks for the escape guys.❤🎉

Did someone contact Dennis Phillips about this? (The fognados)

Yay bats! Eat all those buggies

Another great adventure! Love you two! ❤❤

Thanks cool video ide be interested to see an echinoid sliced open,or are they do soft to slice?it's really cool to see the wildlife dolphin,kingfisher,and especially those bats!

Bats are so good for echo system. And looks as though they are very adaptable to human structures to make themselves a cool Batcave of sorts! Nature is so good for the soul! Enjoyed your video as always! 🥰🙏

That first crown conch is gonna reek...its inhabitant I think, was still in there.... Face it, you like being a gondalier (sp)....😝

Stuck around for the bats, was not disappointed.

I was walking in a residential area and tons of butterflies appeared. They flew all around me like a wave. Think they were buckeye 🦋 I bought a palm size in a store star eckenoid? Spelling oh well. Far out tinybislands🏝🌊🌊🌊🌊🚤🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚🐟🐬🐠🐡

Awesome bat footage and fossil hunting.

The fossils were cool, but the bats were *supercool*! ♥

This was such a fun day! The bats are something I thought I would only ever see in a nature documentary, it was so magical to witness! 😊💖

Great video guys. Seeing the bats was a real treat! Fantastic footage.

Not islands. Those are spoil banks, dredged up to clear channels...

Have you visited the "bat house" at the University of Florida in Gainesville (next to Lake Alice)? It's pretty cool too, but this is way better seeing them adapting to a bridge ramp lol.
