Female on the left and male on the right. The Bat Falcon (Falco rufigularis) is a small falcon that is widely distributed in humid lowland forests of the Neotropical region, from northern Mexico to northern Argentina, reaching elevations up to 1,500 m above sea level. The upperparts are predominantly bluish black, sometimes varying to bluish gray depending on the region. The throat is white, while the breast is marked with white-and-black bars, and the lower belly and thighs are a distinctive orange color. The cauré can be distinguished from the similar and sympatric (but much rarer) falcão-de-peito-laranja (Falco deiroleucus) by its smaller size, narrower white barring on the lower breast, more restricted orange on the upper breast, and more easily, by its distinctive vocalizations. This falcon’s flight is characterized by rapid and strong wingbeats, with agile turns and twists alternating with occasional glides. Its hunting method includes attacks launched from high, exposed perches to capture flying insects, birds, or bats. It is especially active during twilight hours and is not shy. The species nests in natural cavities of old trees or cliffs, but also in nest boxes, buildings and other human-made structures. The clutch size can vary between two and four eggs. The main threat to this species is deforestation.

The 900 block of N. McClean Street, on the east side of Bloomington's Franklin Square, has an interesting history in terms of Illinois politics. Of the four stately residences on this block, three were home to late 19th and early 20th century gubernatorial candidates: Joseph W. Fifer, who served one term as Illinois Governor from 1889 to 1893; Adlai Stevenson I, who served as Vice President of the United States under Grover Cleveland from 1893 to 1897, but then lost a close race for governor in 1908; and Frank H. Funk, who ran and lost as the Progressive "Bull Moose" Party candidate for Illinois Governor in 1912.
This post looks at the Queen Anne style Bates-Funk House which was built about 1891 for T. M. Dates, the superintendent of transportation for the Chicago and Alton Railroad Company. Frank H. Funk (1869-19, grandson of McLean County pioneer Isaac Funk, lived in the house from 1897 to 1924.
Frank Funk was born in Bloomington in 1869. He was a Yale graduate, managed over 2,000 acres of farmland, and also had an extensive political career. He was elected state senator to the Illinois General Assembly in 1909, and held that position until 1913. As previously noted, Funk ran for Illinois governor on the Bull Moose ticket in 1912 making him the third person living in the 900 block of N. McClean St. to be a party-nominated candidate for the Illinois governorship between 1888 and 1912. Frank Funk finished his political career as a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representative from 1921 to 1927. Funk died in Bloomington at the age of 71 in 1940.
The Bates-Funk House is a contributing property in Bloomington's Franklin Square Historic District, which is located northwest of downtown Bloomington. The Square is named in honor of Franklin Price, who was the mayor of Bloomington Mayor in 1856 when land for the Square was gifted to the city.
Franklin Square was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and was designated a local historic district in 1979. The houses of Franklin Square were built in a variety of architectural styles from the mid 19th century through the early 20th century, including Georgian Revival, Italianate, Colonial, Queen Anne, and Richardsonian Romanesque.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.
Just in case you've forgotten,,, Well, I've just found out that this was two days ago, while I visited their colony only yesterday. There is also The (more appropriate I guess) International Bat Night in August.
Anyway, I've chosen one shot (that does not require parental guidance) to mark this occasion.

The Bat Falcon is a widespread small falcon of forest and clearings in the Neotropics. It occurs from Mexico south to northwestern Peru and, east of the Andes, northern Argentina. It is dark slate gray above, with an obvious white throat, black-and-white barred breast, and orange lower belly and thighs. Bat Falcons can be distinguished from the similar and sympatric (but much rarer) Orange-breasted Falcon (Falco deiroleucus) by their smaller size, more compact structure, narrower white barring on the lower breast, and more restricted orange on the upper breast. Bat Falcons generally hunt around dawn and dusk at forest edge or over the canopy, often along rivers or road cuts, or at the edges of small crop fields. As the name implies, they feed on bats, but also prey on birds and insects (mostly aerial). They nest in adopted cavities, on cliffs, or on man-made structures and defend their territory aggressively. doi.org/10.2173/bow.batfal1.01

La cour d'honneur
Autour de la cour d’honneur , se déploie l’ensemble résidentiel des Savoie, avec ses salles d’apparat bordées de chambres secondaires ses logements , sa chapelle et ses bâtiments administratifs, protégés par le donjon.
Dans la cour, deux escaliers, menant à l’aula et à la chapelle, semblent converger
sur la fenêtre à croisée de la camera domini, rehaussée de bleu et de rouge encore perceptibles par fragments.
Mise en exergue d’un lieu privilégié, cette scénographie produisait sans nul doute un fort impact visuel au Moyen Age, lorsque ces éléments se détachaient des murs unifiés par l’enduit.

Fruit Bat Falls, located in Australia's Apudthama National Park on the Cape York Peninsula, is named for the distinctive wing-like shape of the rock formation over which the water flows. The falls have no known "fall" in the historical sense, but have been a popular and well-regarded natural attraction for travelers and 4WD adventurers for decades, offering safe, croc-free swimming.
Another photo from this afternoon on the BN, though this time it's the locomotives that are trash, rather than the freight being pulled by them. (G BOTKAL9 20H)
From Wiki: The bat falcon inhabits tropical forest. It favors unbroken mature forest but also occurs at the forest edge, in gallery forest, on wooded savanna, on cleared land with some remaining trees, and even in suburban and urban areas. In elevation it mostly ranges from sea level to about 1,700 m (5,600 ft) with a single record in Bolivia at about 3,250m .
Bat falcons perch conspicuously on high, open snags, from which they launch aerial attacks on their prey. They also hunt in sustained flight. Most hunting is around dawn or dusk and often continues well past sunset. Their diet is eclectic; they hunt bats, birds (such as swifts, swallows, hummingbirds, parakeets, tanagers and small water birds), small rodents, snakes, lizards, frogs, and large insects such as dragonflies, butterflies, moths, grasshoppers, true bugs, beetles, and hymenopterans. In most areas vertebrates contribute the most to biomass consumed, varying from 66% to 96% in various studies, and birds made up between 32% and 85% of the vertebrates. Invertebrates dominate numerically, and young are fed large numbers of them. Bats generally contribute less than 14% of prey biomass but some pairs seem to specialize in them.
Spotted this guy out in the midday sun constantly diving and drinking from a small pond. Unfortunately it wasn't long before a Magpie also spotted it. RIP Long Eared Bat.
