I haven't mentioned this, but I've been really happy to notice a large number of bats that live here. I've seen 50 or 60 of them, and I'm overjoyed because they eat the blood sucking insects that fly at night.
I'd have a picture, but I can't get them to pose for me.
I've actually had bats swoop down and take an insect inches from my face when I was wearing a headlamp. Not sure what it was -- probably a moth of some sort -- but it was pretty cool. They are adept flyers.
Andrew, Over at GreenMachine, has a post about building bat houses with links to designs and plans. I am going to build a few and hope to see more bats around here. The more the merrier!
