Now batting
batwatching, Home
On tonight's agenda: bat-watching! In the past, this has been one of Stasia's favorite pastimes, but for reasons that probably have something to do with the wretchedly hot and humid weather, my granddaughter has been averse to outdoor pursuits, save going for an Amos Lake swim. Today, however, was a bit cooler and less humid, so we spent the afternoon hiking Lantern Hill, and after supper, as day gave way to dusk, Stasia was quite happy, even eager, to walk to the lawn to hunt for chiropterans. They didn't disappoint, and soon we were immersed in the antics of perhaps as many as half-a-dozen high... and low... fliers.. In between reassuring my granddaughter that these were NOT vampire bats, I brought out the camera equipment. This is one that didn't get away.
