Michigan – bat found grounded

May 20, 2023

A bat was found in a homeowner’s yard in Shelby, MI. Fortunately, the bat was in good shape and likely chased from a tree by a bird. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and as well as instructions on how to release the bat at nightfall after the sun has gone down, by taking the box outside, placing it up on something high, then turning it on its side so the bat can fly off.
