I thought it would be easy to ID these guys, but I'm not having much luck. I thought I had them a few times, but what I thought they might be were always (way) out of range. I didn't mean too, but I flushed them and I got a fairly good view of size. They almost looked like nightjars in wing shape. They were quite large. A wing span of 15 to 20 inches???--could be wrong I'm terrible about that. They weren't the little bats I usually see. They seem to be a leaf-nosed bat of some kind, but I can't find anything with white stripes in range. I had the feeling they had young bats in the group and the adults were flying to draw attention away? Aren't the just the cutest things?
