I am sorry, I wish you could too. They are such fragile creatures, yet so powerful and strong for their size. They make nice sounds. It is like chattering, squeeking, and when they go to sleep at nice they make a sound like a cricket does, very loud. They fly so fast, swoop and dive. It makes a whoosh sound. There are many species I believe. The ones I see will not look like the ones in other geographical locations and/or countries. Thanks for looking.
If anyone has photos they want to share please feel free to add them to this post.
