Missouri- Eastern red bat found in bush- photo available

April 9, 2023

An Eastern red bat was found hanging low in a bush outside of a home in St. Louis, Missouri. After reviewing a photo, the bat was deemed healthy and uninjured, likely just chased from a tree by a blue jay or crow. We provided guidance on how to safely scoot the bat back up high into a tree, where he can hide out until nightfall.
