While heading out to the barn in the evening, a resident from Pine Plaines, NY noticed something on the barn door. When she went to inspect it closer, the object fell to the ground and fluttered into the grass. It was a little bat, and she quickly gave us a call to find out how to help it. 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.
