I love the one with the underside of the wing, showing the bat's "armature"!Deborah Godinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175977572194074388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-79284774607940803102009-09-08T04:47:01.832-07:002009-09-08T04:47:01.832-07:00I have never seen a bat up close and have rarely s...I have never seen a bat up close and have rarely seen them swooping around in the night sky.

It is amazing.<br /><br />Bernie, you are so sweet and kind. Thank you for all those comforting and friendly words and well wishes. I hope you have an awesome weekend also. I woke up to thunderstorms this morning so I am seeing lots of birds right in my own backyard!<br /><br />gunilla, thank you for your visit!<br /><br />Arija, they are amazing creatures and this species makes it easier for me to like them because they are nectar feeding bats. I must confess I would not be so interested in the vampire variety!<br /><br />Gaelyn thank you for your support. I know you love the wonderful natural areas of this land and I thank you for your part in trying to show that beauty to the rest of the world.<br /><br />Celeste, I just saw a report on the news from Friday night where CalPortland has not only started the haul road, they haven't even put it in the area they marked out and submitted as their plan. It is much closer to the riparian area and the county came out and surveyed the damage. It could lead to a court case but with the budget being what it is, Pima County may not have the funds to fight it!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-63476664321844335442009-09-06T08:42:51.778-07:002009-09-06T08:42:51.778-07:00Hurray!

I am so happy that you have started bat monitoring, I am sure you will get lots of good records - bats are so cool.<br />It sounds as though you have got a real battle on your hands with Davidson Canyon. Unfortunately it seems as though large corporations like that don't have to follow the same rules as the rest of us.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859219574207467462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-51194198312730518872009-09-04T22:09:32.205-07:002009-09-04T22:09:32.205-07:00Kathie, it's so cool that you see the bats at ...Kathie, it's so cool that you see the bats at the hummer feeders. Bats are an important part of this earth too and very important polinators.<br /><br />I've marked the sites you passed along and will definately write to the Army Corp once I've done some reading. It would be, and sounds like it already is, a crime to allow Cal Portland to create this road. I'm glad you are there fighting this.

Perhaps it's because I have never actually seen one and only heard about them in horror stories. I have to rethink my feelings about them now since reading your wonderful words.<br />Good Luck with saving that beautiful pristine canyon and I am so happy Blossom is doing so well.<br />Have a gread Labor Day Weekend, stay safe and may you see many glorious birds....:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-65637075670993386192009-09-04T19:07:41.556-07:002009-09-04T19:07:41.556-07:00Oh, Kathie, how wonderful that you have these bats...Oh, Kathie, how wonderful that you have these bats, and how awful that a canyon and stream are threatened.
