I don't really have pictures, but a couple of weeks ago a couple of baby raccoons wandered into my back yard and I couldn't get them to leave. After chasing them out a couple of times I finally had to capture them because I have a couple of big dogs that required the use of the backyard. I spent the next week trying to find someplace that rehabilitated raccoons back into the wild to take them. Finally found a place not all that far from Springfield, Mo (about 200 miles away) luckily the lady agreed to meet us half way.

Then a few days later I am standing on my front porch smoking (yes I know an evil habit and I am trying to quit) when I saw something drop about 20 feet out of a tree and then fly off. Then about five minutes later it happened again. At which point I realized they were bats. In total I saw about four of them - one even came back to buzz a street lamp, I assume after some insects. I haven't seen any since so I'm thinking they were transients that had taken shelter in the tree for the day.

FTK: I Didn't answer your questions because it beats the hell out of me.

PaV: I suppose for me to be pried away from what I do to focus long and hard on that particular problem would take, quite honestly, hundreds of thousands of dollars to begin to pique my interest.
