I love Bats and we have a lot of them here. We get mostly the Kentucky Brown Bats which from your image, looks so much like it. They will begin before dark and fly about and I have a hard time knowing if I am seeing them, or the Chimney Swifts that also flit around and over our home. I have handled them before and they are just quite interesting. <br />Hope you are enjoying your week. Have a great weekend coming up quickly now.
