Moved it to the pear tree.
Brought the cats in

Used all precautions, Inkpen.

It is what I believe to be is an adult red bat
Friend of mine said the don't get very big and don't rehab well.

I will check to see if he has left in the morning, if not I think there is a rehabber in Lusby?? Inkpen, is Noah's ark up toward Annapolis still taking them? Or will any one take them for that matter?

Is it a red bat or a brown?
A red bat was found at Baltimore Zoo 2 weeks ago with rabies....

Nice photo though~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for saving it!!!

I called my Dad who likes and knows about bats and snakes He said he's pretty sure it has rabies as it was putting itself around human scent and he mentioned something about foxes getting rabies more rabidly spread during droughts I think I was correct in my first assessment ... Eww!!! Kill it!! We as humans should not see bats during the day, let alone sleeping at the door step on the ground by cats Luckily everyone is up to date on rabies but this little bat was just nasty... it's leg was stuck and injured from the door opening or something and it just crawled - we had to use tongs to get it away from the door and free it and it kept hissing and spitting

The following day the bat was gone from the pear tree that I put it in.

I am assuming it flew of cause I couldn't find it anywhere.
So there you haveit
