Our First Guests or Bats in the Belfry?

Sitting around the fire on a warm summer night, we watched a couple of bats flit here and there.  Back and forth and back and forth, until we got to wondering “Where are they coming from?”  So we went and sat on the road in front of the school (it was a slow night) and just watched.

Apparently, these residents have not one, not two, but three entrances to their new (?) home.

These are really, really little holes.  What was more interesting was that there weren’t just 2-3 bats.  It seems that ma and pa bat have brought their whole family!

Next adventure….research the lifestyles of the rich and famous bats, and come up with some alternate accommodations.  I love having them here – I can’t even wrap my head around how many mosquitoes they eat a day – but I’m against them living rent free!  Anyone have some good bat-house diagrams?
