Seeing Bats In Summer Time
Personal memory by Andy Storck
2001 CE • East Amherst, NY, USA
When I was a boy one of my favorite things to do in the summertime was sit outside at night and enjoy the sounds and sights of animals around my neighborhood. In particular, the bats that would fly around. Unfortunately, over time more houses were being developed and the bats slowly disappeared every year until there were none left.
