Pretty soon the Lesser Long-nosed Bats or the Mexican Long-tongued Bats (not sure which) will arrive and then I have to bring my feeders in after dark and put them out before dawn. It's a pain and it lasts until sometime in October. Sometimes I put out a 30-oz hummingbird feeder for them and they drain it by morning. If I go out with a flashlight I can see them swooping in.
Here are some great pics of the bats (that I didn't take |=)|):

It's strange how I don't have this problem in the Spring. It's only in the Fall.
