Why the feeder is always empty in the morning?

For the last couple of weeks the hummingbird feeder is always empty in the morning...I finally went out and sat quietly for about 20 minutes and half a dozen of these bats showed up. It took a while to get a photo..but here is the proof!

That is a great shot! Patience and perseverance always pays off in photography! Nice job.

And I've been blaming my local squirrels all summer. This could very well be the same situation here.

We have the same exact problem. Couldn't figure out why our hummingbird feeders were empty every morning until I sat out in the backyard late one night. Then I saw the bats. I haven't taken any pictures yet but your nice shot encourages me to give it a try.

Great shot! Opportunistic group of bats!

Wow! I've seen photos of all kinds of non-hummer visitors, but these are the first bats. I've seen photos of lizards, squirrels, woodpeckers and other birds. This is a first.

That is so cool!! Bats are our friends, especially here in Florida. Without them, mosquitos will take over!
