Bat!
Taken from my front yard.
I wonder where they roost during the day. You know not to expect National Geographic quality footage.

Re: Bat!
We have tons of them here in southwest Michigan. You can sit outside in the late evening/early morning and watch them flying and hunting in the summer.
The sounds they make give them away as bats, not birds like I first thought....that leathery flapping sounds and the high pitched squeaks. They are awesome!

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. – John Quincy Adams (1821)

Re: Bat!
Cool vid! We have tons in our barn here in IL. They're very cool.. they mind their own business and keep the pest population way down. I sweep out piles of their poop on the regular.. they all seem to go in the same spots, lol.

Re: Bat!
I think bats are pretty cool. We had one hanging under the awning at the staff entrance to Children's Hospital where I work. It hung there all day every day, almost within reach of humans. After a while someone figured out it was dead and removed it.
Bats, like snakes, seem to get a bad rap.

Re: Bat!
Bats're so cute, with their ugly little faces. I saved one once from a noon-hour supervisor back in Elementary school.. she was beating on it with a broom, tore it's poor wings up and I'm not entirely sure if it lived or not 'cuz I scooped it up in a jar and took it up into the woods behind the school-yard.
Awesome little critters.

Re: Bat!
Cool stuff. Around dusk here we get clouds of bats flying out from under the bridges.

Re: Bat!
And with so many kids around here dropping like flies from swine flu we could use more bats to polish off pest.
