Location: Kaneko

Today as I was walking back from dinner with a friend and we had just crossed over the skybridge and onto the sidewalk leading to the front doors of Kaneko. We were in the midst of chatting about Halloween when, coincidentally, we heard a loud, high pitched screech, and looked up to see a lone black bat swooping back in forth. It appeared to be pacing in the air. I could make out the loopy pattern of the edges of his wings against the moonlit sky behind. The bat was about 6 or 7 inches long, wings included. I wished I could see it more closely because have never really seen a bat's face up close. What a perfect Halloween eve observation!
