Hello, We’re guessing at the ID. It was Not a bird, but apparently a migrant, that absolutely took our breath away yesterday afternoon. A huge dark moth or butterfly bounced around between our large full sized windows and our bird strike lines (installed 2-3 feet out and hanging from our eves). It went back and forth two or three times right smack at our eye level, took a 20 sec break, then came back and did it again. After that it was not seen again. We thought it must be a ginormous moth, but also made note that the body was so big and the wingspan at least 6 inches and pointed in shape that it “almost looked like a bat.” It was a downright spooky-looking thing and it didn’t cross our minds to go outside and see if it might be resting under our eaves. We did not invite it in either. We have never seen anything like it in this country (and frankly don’t remember this particular creature from our trips to the tropics either). 😳 Carol Blackard carolblackard.com Sent from my iPhone
