Alabama – red bat found grounded – photo available

April 12, 2023

A red bat was found laying on his back at an office in Alabama. The bat was uninjured and likely chased from a tree by a blue jay or crow. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and releasing him at nightfall by taking the box outside, placing it up on something high, then turning it on its side so the bat can fly off.
