Bats

I love sitting on our back patio and watching the bats feed in the dusk.

Our backyard is inclosed on 3 sides by trees and on the 4th side by the house. I think it makes a bug bowl for the bats to feed in.

I have never seen fewer than 2 bats. Tonight there were 3. A few weeks ago, there were 4, and I actually captured a pic:

Usually they seem to fly independently of each other. Occasionally they seem to fly as a pair.

A few weeks ago, there were 2 bats flying together. 1 looked like it was following the other. Then the trailer sped up, bumped into the leader, and darted ahead. "Tag, you're it!" I have no idea if that is what was going on, but that was my snap judgement at the time.
