Bats!

[dancerjodi]

We have a WHOLE BUTTLOAD of bats near our house! They must live somewhere nearby because at dusk there were tons of them swooping around in the sky above our yard. I've never heard the little bat squeak before :)

As time went on their numbers dwindled as they moved out to feed. I really want to get our bat house up soon so that we can see if we can procure some of our own.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Its just very weird - we are right near the center and in a pretty busy area but because of the trees/vegetation on and near our house we see lots of birds and critters. The bat thing just floored me. I knew we had a good chance of having some nearby since there are a few ponds and beaches around but I didn't expect so many (!)

So many people said that we were moving to a place that was too 'dirty' and 'citylike' - but I pass about 10-15 farms on my way to work through Sherburn, Natick, Wayland and Weston. You don't see many horses or cows (or bats) in Waltham :)

I need to get a bird-watching book (and trim that damned Rhodedendron so I can see out the window to the tree to the birds more easily).
