Glastonbury, CT (7/15)

During the heat of the day I spotted a Monarch and a Common Buckeye at Shannon's rental house on Naubuc Ave. Later in the day the clouds rolled in and it started to rain. When the heavy precipitation ended we decided to take a walk around the block at her home. It was pretty dark and there was still a good deal of mist in the air. To my surprise, I spotted two bats flying around. Their size suggested Big Brown Bats but I certainly can't be sure. The bats seemed to be hunting for insects. I'm guessing that the rain would play havoc on their sonar but they seemed to be swooping and diving anyhow. I couldn't tell if they caught anything but it was fun watching them try.
