BATWATCH REPORT (June 4th, 2025)

An update from the BAT-tle front - our yard.

Yes. She needs a solid cleaning and a new paint job.

Standing outside my house with the Echo Meter 2, this is how it went down.

• 🦇 Fat Eddie the Silverhair bat flapped out to start the party

• 🦇🦇 Fat Eddie and his lady friend flapped in tandem over my rhododendron ❤️

• 👿 Intense, Angry Yuma Myotis chirps - loud and nearby!

• 🚫 No stream of bats pouring out of the house - but every sudden step triggers a wave of LOUD sonar chips.
  👁️🎤 They are watching me. (I HOPE they are in the bat boxes!)

• 💩 Backside of my house near septic.

  • ↗️ One Little Brown bat buzzes up from lower down the hill

  • 😬 Another buzzes just above my head - probably not mad at me, but aiming for the bugs near the septic tank

• 🧛 Walking back up my driveway, I hear loud crashing in the woods and a snorting/wheezing call, maybe 20 feet away. Probably a deer 🦌

• Fat Eddie says goodnight. The moon comes up. 🌔

This is my life. So far so good, no bats in the house or attic.

Tomorrow, we release more rehabbed bats at the park! Stay tuned.

Here is video of the night-creature crashing through the trees, wheezing at me. Volume up!
