Last night I was jolted awake out of a dream in the middle of the night and thought I saw what looked to be a bat crawling up my door. I checked practically the whole house and no sign of bats.

Mole – gentleman in black velvet I’ve seen lots of bats, but bat identification is tricky, even when armed with a bat detector. A few are easy, such as the Egyptian Fruit Bat, the largest bat we have in Europe. They are big, impressive bats that fly high. I’ve seen them in Cyprus.

Ok, maybe not the vampire bat…but some of the more “cuddly” species are actually quite easy to see. That’s quite the list of charismatic and unique wildlife to add to your potential list of sightings. Expect to see Giant Anteaters at any of the fantastic lodges in the Rupununi savannahs like the Waikin and Wichibai ranches.

A bat flew over my house a few days ago. That sentence may sound like the beginning of a horror story, but this bat bade well, serving as a reminder to those of us in the frosty north that winter eventually ends. Another sure sign of spring turned up just the next morning in the form of two Common Grackles stalking my lawn.

Brilliant little birds, it’s a good thing they are tiny because if they were any bigger and more organized, hummingbirds would undoubtedly conquer the world. Not convinced?

Nose running, sore throat and headache. I noticed this time I have two perfect fang marks on my finger.

As Kaufman shows, however, to birds and bats, they can be death machines.
