Bats!

I walked out at dusk tonight to put out the recycling. Looking up I was pleased to see at least three bats merrily plucking mosquitoes out of the air.

Snack away, my furry flier friends. Just don’t make our gable vent your home anymore, KTHXBYE.

  1. The Museum of Life & Science in Durham last spring had a special exhibition one day on bats. Besides seeing a presentation that had bats from finger size to one with an 8 foot wingspan(!!!) they had something where the kids could build bat houses. B built one but we still need to put it up. They’re fairly simple to build, though. (B did it all by himself with the exception that I acted as the vice and held things into place.)
