Bats in the Belfry

We had bats in the house last night. Two at once! We aren't the types to be scared by this kind of thing- We live in the country and appreciate all of the creatures here. It's just when a couple of them are flitting around in the house we get a little jumpy. I did manage to snap few pictures using the turn on flash, turn off auto focus and point camera towards flying bat method. They are fast! After closing a few doors and opening another, one of our visitors flew outside on its own. The other was captured and released unharmed into the wild by my wife, who is skilled with the broom and strainer.
