I love having a project--it lends a treasure hunt quality to our every outing--but I also enjoy the snakes, trees, blister rust.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779866178920345344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739153214386464945.post-11947270588855367222010-09-29T11:47:08.948-07:002010-09-29T11:47:08.948-07:00Best way to get a breeze going is to close all win...Best way to get a breeze going is to close all windows, except for a fan blowing out at one end (through a cutout - so no "wasted space"), and a single window open at the other end.<br /><br />Then again, maybe you prefer to offer an open door to your mammalian visitors.OnceAnEngineernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739153214386464945.post-85836490177791019242010-09-29T09:36:42.519-07:002010-09-29T09:36:42.519-07:00I think 'Live in your bedroom' is preferab...I think 'Live in your bedroom' is preferable to 'Dead in your bedroom'<br /><br />Eek!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02399805400249672910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739153214386464945.post-44017502028281885942010-09-29T09:18:59.802-07:002010-09-29T09:18:59.802-07:00Kristin, I think you are right--the big brown bat!...Kristin, I think you are right--the big brown bat! I'm going to count it--the tail looks right (nude interfemoral membrane), the ears and face look right, the color I thought was too dark, but it turns out that forest dwelling big brown bats are dark. And it was definitely big. I did not check the incisors or keel (!) but I'm going to go with Big Brown Bat.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779866178920345344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2739153214386464945.post-65039084972787260492010-09-29T08:16:19.702-07:002010-09-29T08:16:19.702-07:00No way!

Perhaps it echolocat(ed) off of a mosquito that went into your house. <br /><br />At one time I would have known what kind of bat that was; I heard once that there is only one large bat species in our area (CA brown bat is my guess).<br /><br />The great thing about spending time in nature is that you can't control it and you never know what you're going to see. I think its hard to set out with an agenda or an expectation of seeing wildlife, because when you don't, it's disappointing. Have patience and your mammal sightings may occur; it may take a lifetime. I'm still waiting to see a mountain lion in the wild. I'm pretty sure they've seen me.Kristin https://www.blogger.com/profile/04323713538989288259noreply@blogger.com
