California – bat grounded at country club

April 17

While working at a country club in San Diego, CA an employee came across a Mexican freetail bat who appeared to have an injured wing. The finder was desperate to help the poor bat, and used gloves to scoop the bat into a box and bring him inside the club’s office. 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.
