"Guano Happens"

It was a beautiful evening to do science.  We were able to join in one more time before school started. Such a neat experience and watching the bats is always a joy.
It was a cloudless, almost full moon night.

Willow and I decided to watch the bats from another angle this time. We hiked up to a nearby arch and got a side view of the action.....

I brought my camera do try some moonlight, night sky photography under the arch.
Here are some before and after shots:

Stars weren't as bright with a full moon but it was still beautiful.

Here are surveys from the previous years:

My favorite experience with bats is from a couple of years ago on a dark and stormy night.
