What's the radar picking up?

I was looking around on the Storm Prediction Center website and I came across this radar image from March 19, 2006.
You can see the hook echo, gust front and supercell, but check out the other spots on the radar. I wonder how many meteorologists mistaked these spots for rain, when it was actually a group of bats!!

Other than bats, a lot of things can show up on radar. Scienctist have been studying the migration of the Monarch Butterfly, what better to track their paths than radar!
