Hello again: July 27, 2013
On the evening of July 15 I saw one bat briefly over the back lawn at
9:38 (watched from 9:30-9:50; sunset about 9:12).
Today I noticed 2 bat droppings. One on a sloping ledge over the
electric meter box and one on a shelter for the wheelchair lift control.
Both under the same wooden shutter as before.
Tonight under cloudy and fairly calm conditions I watched from
9:10-9:25; sunset 8:58. Just after 9:15 there were 5 bat passes over the
back lawn in the space of about 20 seconds. Very likely one bat making 5
passes but it is some comfort to see normal looking activity.
CORRECTION: There were actually two pellets on July 15. The second was on
the lift control shelter but covered by the control when I noticed the other
pellet and sent that first e-mail.
And only <3" of the sloping shelf over the door is below the shutter.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
