Batty

terri · Jun 14, 2016

So yesterday in the early evening, I glanced out my kitchen window and saw something that appeared to be stuck on the outside of my screened-in porch. Grabbed my phone and took this (through the kitchen window):

Getting closer in, same vantage point from the kitchen:

A bat! Out a bit early for him, it was getting close to twilight but still light enough that I could get some captures on the crappy phone camera. I went onto the porch so I could catch his backside, through the screen:

Then I just had to wait to see how long he wanted to cling there before taking off and doing his job of eating mosquitoes. He waited until it was too dark to see, so I gave up.

I love me some bats!! :586:

Awww. I've only ever seen one up close although I used to live in a place where if we stood in the driveway at night they would bomb by our heads. Loved it!
