I forgot to mention this little lady. We try to protect these bats
that come every spring and have for many years. The mama
comes already impregnated. This is their birthing colony.
It is a small colony, about 7-9. She is about 2 inches long, and
the babies when I see them are about 1 inch, with hair, just like mama.
They are born blind and hairless, but have not seen this stage.
We take very few pictures; don't want to wake them up, which
can be a danger to them.
They are under the second story deck, always in the same corner.
More mamas join in succession. They have 1 to 2 babes.
