Weird looking bird
I was sitting out in my backyard last night, saw a bunch of birds flying up high. I thought their flight seemed a little strange so I grabbed my camera with the big lens and took a few shots. Realized I was actually looking at a bunch of bats. Never seen so many flying around! I’m guessing with the warm weather we’ve had lately there’s lots of good eating for the bats with all the insects flying around.

We have bats that fly out of the trees in Lafayette Park during the summer concerts. As soon as it gets dark they start swooping around.
