Carolina Gardening: Hoary Bat, 1 by Entlie

Arrived home mid day yesterday to find this furry little creature on our foundation (southern exposure) near our garage. We weren't sure if it was animal or vegetable because it was in a nice little egg shaped ball with no apendages sticking out. A light touch and it moved - we could see it's a bat!

Saturday morning it's still here. The local wildlife person has had reports of two lethargic bats a mile or so from here, on the ground and not moving but not dead. These are more bat looking and not like ours. She sent photos to wildlife nc for more info.

Ours appears to be a hoary bat, a solitary creature. Photo attached.
