Hi Patricia - that's very interesting. I remember years ago being on a pelagic trip out of New Jersey sometime in September. The most notable thing about that day was the number of Merlins, Green Darner dragonflies and Red Bats we encountered far offshore, making the water crossing from the southern shore of Long Island as they headed south down the coast. In fact, we saw several Merlins catching and snacking on darners, on the wing - fast food for migrant falcons, I guess!

Cheers

Stephen

There are bats that migrate during the daytime. We had a pair of them many
years ago in our yard one afternoon. They were reddish-colored like the one
in your photo. Can't recall the name, unfortunately.
