Greetings: Steve Weston got in touch with a PHD candidate from the U. of Minnesota telling him about my report of a bat in our apple tree. Disappointment follows high expectations. A person who helps us with filling our seed feeder looked up at the "bat" today, and was disappointed to have to report to us that what we thought was a bat was 2 or 3 leaves clinging together. One of the things I noticed was that neither the "bat" nor the birds bothered each other. Thanks to Steve Weston for trying to be helpful. Sorry I was wrong. Some of my disappointment is that, at my age, I don't get out myself to fill the feeders and would have discoverd my error sooner. The movement of the "bat, object" was so rhymical, like breathing. The "bat" was about 20 feet from our kitchen window. I was looking at it with good, Swarovsky binoculars. It was this morning that I set up my Elite scope. I have had communications, via phone, twice with the PhD candidate. And he was coming down Saturday to get the"bat". Thankfully I saved him a trip with my disappointing news. Well, all this was not about birds. Sorry for my mistake. So we learn from our errors. Rev. Forest V. Strnad, Faribault, Mn.
