Bats in the Neighborhood!
A week ago today, as my husband was outside grilling, he noticed a bat flitting about! He called me over to confirm and then we observed about 15-20 flying around our house and quite low over the street around 8:45pm. This is the first time since moving here last October that we've observed bats! Around our house there are plenty of squirrels, birds, sometimes frogs, even a small owl once! But never bats! I was absolutely ecstatic!

I have found a dead little bat on my road and then later in the evening I notice one flying. Can they hurt us? I have live here nearly 10 years and this is the first I have ever seen one.
ReplyDeleteKeep in mind, I'm no expert, but bats will not go out of their way to hurt humans. Treat a bat as you would any wild animal - simply don't touch it. If you do see a live bat on the ground, it most likely means it is sick or injured.
