A caller had found a bat lying near her garage door in San Clarita, CA. The finder had placed the bat in a box and left it in a tree overnight, and in the morning the bat was gone. The called explained the bat seemed very mobile and active, so hopefully it only needed some water and to wait to nightfall. We provided guidance on how to safely contain bats in the future provided the contact info for bat-trained rescuers in the finder’s area.
