After the discovery of the chipmunk babies (now called McSparky and McSpeedy though honestly I have no idea who sired them), I felt there was little left to get excited about for the Connecticut summer. However, last Sunday we sat in our sunroom, eating ice cream and watching the dusk close in and we saw a bird like creature flying erratically between the trees. Batty was back!!! Batty was spotted, and named by 13 yr old Moochey, last August. I believe the chiroptera is a Little Brown Bat. I was afraid that due to White Nose Syndrome Batty may not make it back to us but he is and I am very pleased.
Welcome back Batty! Now get those mosquitoes boy.

A couple of comments need to be made.
ReplyDeleteFirst, how do you know McSparky and McSpeedy are Irish or Scottish? Were they playing bagpipes and wearing kilts? If this was published late on the 17th, I'd say you were just jumping in on the Celtics glory. Glory meaning the pummeling that was given to the Lakers.
Second, how do you know it's Batty? There are lots of bats in the upper east area. Could it actually be the same bat? Or!!!! Could it be an evil imposter trying to reset the date on your auto? Maybe, just maybe, it's Speedy or Sparky trying to play a joke on you.
Either way, hope it doesn't get in the house. Once in, they're like mice and make a horrible mess.

ReplyDeleteThey've got red hair! Of course they're Scottish.
ReplyDeleteThey probably grew up in that well know part of Glasgow, Gerbils.
