I started having my hummingbird feeders empty out overnight. I knew it was wasn't spilling, like it does when the Gila Woodpecker gets after the nectar, and besides, bird sleep overnight, and so do bees (I have problems with them as well) and neither birds nor bees had ever emptied my feeders overnight! One morning I found a dead bat on my back porch. THAT was weird, since they have sonar and I couldn't imagine that it flew into my glass door! But it was laying just outside the glass door, and that's how it looked. I chucked him over the fence, and thought hmmmm, could the bats be eating from the feeders? I wanted to get up during the night and check, but never saw anything the few times I did this. And VOILA you tell me that yes, indeed they eat from the feeders! The dead one looked like a regular bat, the kind that eats insects, and I thought perhaps just the fruit bats would go for nectar and they are much larger. It is so good to get an answer to this mystery! Do you have bat houses? I would love to have one. Like bats and am glad they are eating the insects in my back yard...gotta make some cages to put around my feeders!
