Driving down one of the main roads in town, Camille pointed out that she’d noticed when walking that the clumps in the trees are not tangled branches, like I thought, but hundreds, maybe thousands, of bats.
does anyone still say, “gives me the willies?”

I once asked D.Kirusha in Rome, “Why are there so many birds flying around here at dusk?” “Because they’re not birds, they’re bats,” he replied. Brrrrr, willies is right! But they are Mother Nature’s insecticide and are a good thing. I guess.

OOOOWWWEE. So cool! I would love to see that many bats. That many bats resting, of course! and NIMBY. Still pretty interesting.

Spiders, snakes and bats, always getting the bad rap. Giving people the willies and scaring the beejeebus out of them. These look like fruit bats.

Heebee jeebees. Bats are actually, very cool, they keep the insects down. We were camping at the Indians one year (Los Padres National forest CA), at dusk they were flying all around. No worries their radar works perfect, so quiet too. I woke up in the middle of the night to losts of little chirping noise. The sugar pine tree my tent was under was full of hanging bats!
