It's still pretty uneventful out there. Today, one Grey Squirrel westbound on Annistown Road., a little to the west of Zoar Church Road. I'll note that it is a full moon, but it doesn't seem to be clearing up the lull in activity.

On another note, or possibly not very distant tangent I observed 6 or so birds flying about in the night hours, between 9 to 10 O'clock. They were visible only by means of a bright light high on top a telephone pole which had done a decent job of illuminating their undersides. They were too large for me to say they were bats but they possessed a lack of hastiness and an almost frolicking like pattern that reminded me of the feeding habits of bats, particularly how they stayed close to the light as if they were gathering up moths. They could be nightjars or some other nocturnal bird we barely witness or it's possible they are run of the mill songbirds engaging in behavior that is also rarely observed.
