Love the bats! Off an on we get bats but we have barred, great horned and barn owls that love to eat bats. Not to mention the multiple hawks.
I was a tomboy growing up, loved snakes, bugs, and anything outdoors, much to my mother's chagrin. So I am in a constant fight with one city bred neighbor who thinks all snakes should die. I have told him repeatedly what good things they do, and offered to take them off his hands, but no. He doesn't like bugs either. The other day he was at our fence complaining about mice, rats, bugs, spiders, etc. and I just sighed.

I think my stick is simply gorgeous and since he is more inclined to eat undergrowth rather than my cottage garden, he can stay. Maybe the new ribbon snake I saw will have him for breakfast. Ouch.

An orphan barred owlette from last year. One parent was killed on the road, we ended up taking him to raptor rescue and they released him out here later in the year.
