This poor little boy fell from the roof of our house. Bats can't fly from the ground so I picked him up and placed him on his belly near a tree. His wing looked like it was a little hurt but he had a lot of spunk. He was spitting and growling at me and flopping all over the place. I did manage to snap this picture of him before I let him go. When I went back out to check on him he was gone, so either he climbed the tree or he was someone's dinner.
Disclaimer: Bats are one of the number one carriers of rabies! Do not pick up a bat without proper protection and knowledge. If you aren't sure, don't touch it! I used thick knit gloves and picked up the bat in my winter hat.
