oKADUQaiDSCxFUAAE0E1Rm1pE0U0EAEAANBNUTQAATQNA0DQTQTQNENA0E0V As long as there is food available (and warm enough temperatures), bats will keep foraging (this is called "swarming"). So local (hibernating) species may still be encountered. These would be Little Brown Bats, Northern Long-eared bats and pipistrelles. However, this is the time of the year when we encounter the odd migrating "tree bats" This would included Red Bat, Hoary Bats, and Silver-haired bats.All three of these are bigger than the local hibernators, and have different fur colour. So what size were your bats (wing-span) and what colour was the fur?

This afternoon I watched it closely and it seemed to be successfully going after some sort of flying insects.... about the size of a mosquito. Isn't it a bit late (in the year) and early (in the day) for bats to be out flitting around? Cheers Jon Percy Granville Ferry, NS [across the river from Annapolis!!!)
