A resident in Janesville, WI found a small tree roosting bat crawling around on the bark of a tree in her yard. Being the time of year where this species should be hibernating, the caller knew the little bat would need help. 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.
