To the Bat Cave Robin!
I should not be surprised but the bugs also come with bats,
lots and lots of bats. They look a lot
like the little brown bats we have in the Yukon. I know that there are at least
two distinct types here, the fruit bats and the bug bats. The bug bats seem to
be the ones that hand out with us in the buildings. The fruit bats have their
own specialized home in a massive tree just at the front of the property that
also serves as a cellular antenna. When you can’t get reception, stand under
the big tree and it seems to come in loud and clear. Our first days here the bats
were fairly quiet during the days, occassonally a few would come out and hang
out on the walls, likely because of the excessive heat in the rafters where
they prefer to sleep. In the last few days the bats have become much more
active in the day times. This has coincided with a change in the weather. No
longer are the seas glassy calm, and the wind subtle. The winds have picked up
and with them the seas, the bats and the bugs.
