A lady in  Mossville, LA, found an Eastern red bat in her swimming pool. The eastern red was healthy and had likely been chased from a tree by a blue jay. We provided guidance as seen on this link on how to get the small family back into a tree. We also asked the caller to please let us know if any babies were abandoned so we could rescue them and hand raise them if needed. We also gave information on Frog Logs, which can prevent small animals from drowning. The bat was transferred to the rescuer where he/she will be assessed and hopefully be released back to the wild.
