Bat Signals

Aug 05, 2012 20:33

Tonight the sky is a clicking, squeaking whirl of bats.  I surmise that this is a result of the recent rain activating the insect population.  They may be big brown bats, which roost in buildings as well as caves, are common, and have a sizable wingspan for small bats.  I am happy to see bats because they are prodigious insectivores.  Also bat populations are plummeting due to white-nose syndrome so bats in the air = good.
