That's the case with bats. <br /><br />Give up on trying to see them. It's enough that they posit the little reminders of their existence.jennifer rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06285568306915329954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-79906510923953972092009-08-13T08:42:06.720-05:002009-08-13T08:42:06.720-05:00Well wish for Jiggs!

I tried an experiment by cleaning off the counter to see when a fresh supply arriuved. It started during the early evening. Maybe the spot is like a park bench for bats. And, yes, they do spray for mosquitoes, in addition to having a very thorough dengue abatement program.<br /><br />John -- Bats are fascinarting creatures. As I think back over the years, bats have been a constant no matter where I lived.<br /><br />Horst -- You're right. In fact, it almost could be an upside down tub -- the way it is constructed.

We'd listen to their squeaks at night. In the evenings, we'd watch them swoop and dive, hunting mosquitos. When I sold the ranch and moved to Mexico, I left the bats for the new owner as a mosquito abatement facility.
