My son and I came home from soccer practice this evening to find a baby bat huddled next to our garage door.
I picked him up and put him on a nearby tree, hopefully he'll figure out where he is and continue his journey...

He let out some clicking noises, I guess to 'see' what was messing with him, then a few hisses too. Washington State - Canon Rebel XT

Once he got to the tree he climbed off the gloves and onto the tree. When he climbed off the gloves his head was pointing up the tree. When I returned with the camera he had turned around and had his head pointing down. He is still there is morning. Uh oh...that doesn't sound good ...::: Canon EOS 40D on the way!!!

Are bats supposed to stay in one place like that, or is he too weak to move?
