Bats!

The good news is that I saw a bat last night. It flew in under the patio cover and right back out. Just the one, but that’s better than none. I stared out for a few more minutes hoping to see the swarms that used to frequent the air above the pool last year, but no more appeared. Maybe tomorrow? Or I could walk out back right now and look. The sky is just turning to silver along the eastern edge and they should be silhouetted and visible if they are present at all.

Success! I saw a few dozen; or a few…a dozen times. Anyway, they were obviously moving towards home; the old barn to the north of us. But one did swoop down into the back yard and skimmed just above the surface of the pool before exiting.

And on an entirely different subject; we watched Dralion last night, from a rental DVD from Netflix. It’s obvious that the television experience can’t compare to the real thing…but it was still fascinating!
