I'm Batman

It is officially spring/summer! How do I know? Bruce is back! Bruce is our brown bat that lives alone in the eve of our deck covering. Every year he comes back to spend the warm months eating our bugs and looking extra cute as he relaxes during the day. As the weather starts to get warmer Kev and I start looking in his little summer home daily to await his arrival. He's so cute I have to really control myself not to try and pet him.

Those Brindle Kids said...: Let Bruce know that he's welcome to send several hundred of his closest friends and relatives to my house. We've got enough mosquitoes to feed them all - :(; April 22, 2010 at 9:20 PM
Life With Dogs said...: NSNG beat me to the question. I wonder how old they get. I used to trap and release at my old office building. They are cute in their own way. :); April 23, 2010 at 12:00 AM

I hope you get more photos of Bruce. You can say "G'day, Bruce" like the Monty Python skit.; May 16, 2010 at 7:08 PM
