Air Show...several years ago in Battle Creek, MI

I *really* like your photo Roy.

I love the bats Annie. Great to see.

Michele....wow, thanks for that pic and facts. I had no idea about the parrots

in NYC either. I wonder how long that has been so? Wow...learn something

every single day. LOL

These two were a couple of steps up from me in my kitchen when I caught them smooching.

My friend took this from their backyard couple years ago. BEAUTIFUL!

annie, I'm sure the bats are useful to have around (though I wouldn't want them in one of my structures) but the Wiki article questions overstated claims (like your 2000 bugs per night) and suggests the number is much smaller.

It's ok Elmer, I'll take whatever help they can give. With so many having been lost to the disease, I'm happy to have some that are healthy.

Annie, I am so impressed with your little colony. Did you attract them or did they come on their own?

The picture is only part of them....there were others clustered on a few other beams. We did nothing to attract them and would have no way of keeping them out anyway as the barn is pretty loose and the bats can squeeze through small spaces. DH just covers the tractor with a tarp to keep the guano off.

They've been in our area as long as I can remember. When we were kids, we'd see them at night and throw a small rock in the air to watch them hone in on it until they realized it was nothing to eat and then would fly off.
