A lady in Temecula, CA found a bat in her backyard. The bat had been there through the night and the finder thought it would fly away, the bat was still there in the morning and she realized that something might be wrong. The bat did have a wing injury and needed to get care right away.  We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and located a bat-trained rescuer in the finder’s area. The bat was transferred to a rescuer where he/she will be assessed for hopeful release back to the wild.
