We have a lot of bats, and go outside after dinner to watch them fly around. I would like to make them a house in our yard, but no place is really suited to proper placement. They obviously have someplace to live as they return every year. As for the book, it is very educational, and helpful. I hope to use it to make a bat house someday.

As the title implies, this book presents a number of designs for constructing homemade bat houses.
I'm an amateur hobbyist photographer, I enjoy practicing wildlife photography, I intend to construct a handful of homemade bat houses specifically because I hope to have at least 2 or 3 different species of bats living in close proximity to me so that I'll be able to photograph them.
If you enjoy assembling homemade crafts projects, and if you enjoy viewing bats, you will enjoy this book.
