Apparently both Kestrels and Merlins eat bats! The time was 6:20pm. I was on the north side of California, just before El Camino (Palo Alto), and the bats were across the street, south side of California Ave. I think there were about 10 bats, maybe more. It was dusk, so maybe the "crepuscular" hunting of the Merlin says it was a Merlin, though the bird seemed somewhat floppy in flight. In any event, a strange sight! Good birding and thanks again for all the information sent my way. Kris Olson _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
