This bat had fallen into a back-porch bucket during all the rains last week. She managed to tread water ’till morning, when Matt & Christina found her and rescued her. We made sure her thumb claws were not damaged (luckily it was a plastic bucket), and then brought her out to the flight cage to make sure she could sustain flight. We tried a non-toxic tempura paint to ID her (it’s messy if they struggle and swat the paint brush) and you can still see a hint of red on her left ear as she is released back into the wild. Good bat, nice knowing you!
