Never a dull moment up here today! I saw what I thought was a bird fly up to the peak of the cabin and I thought maybe the Phoebes had snuck a nest in there. When it didn't fly out I got the binoculars to see what the brown stuff was along the wall and soffit. It was 2 bats. One of them came out and was trying to find a better spot to hide and had a tough time of it. He kept trying to move towards an old hornet's nest base on the soffet. No gray nose disease with this fella.

Maybe they were this year's young that didn't find there way home to elsewhere in the soffet where a small colony lives. Up here in the woods it is near impossible to keep them from roosting someplace in a dwelling, one just doesn't want them inside. Now I know how we got one in the cabin in a tiny gap in the screen and the window frame. That window is right below where these 2 guys were today.
