Hi, Apologies in advance for an OT post- the 'natural history' forum on the OOS website has not had much traffic lately, so I thought i might get more response here. I sat on my deck fro 2 1/2 hours this evening, watching for bats. I did this because I haven't been seeing bats. I would have expected that after sundown, there would rarely be a time when a bat *wasn't* in sight, because that's what I remember from previous years. Zero bats. Anyone else looking for bats and not seeing them? thanks in advnace, Bill ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
