Continuing from yesterday, as I sat watch these birds come into the little pool of water to take flies, a very unexpected thing happened. A bat came flying in low, just above the creek bed. He flew back and forth and then finally landed on the ground. It was a Southwestern Myotis. We're talking about 1:00 in the afternoon -- not at night. The ponderosa pines, douglas firs, and other trees kept this area very dark, yet it still seemed very unusual. It's the first bat I've seen eating during the day. Here is one of the photos I took:
