Well, now for the second installment of the little brown bat story. Last night around 1:45AM (I guess that would be this morning actually!) ANOTHER bat found its way into my room. It is now trapped in the same window as the first one. My dad went and looked in the attic to see if he could see any signs of a colony...pack...flock...what is a group of bats called? He couldn't see any signs of them, but that means nothing because the experts told us that they can fit through a space as thin as the diameter of a nickel...or even a gap the diameter of a pencil! So, I'm not sure what's gonna happen from here, but all I know is that if another bat ends up in my room while I sleep, there will be some wrath involved...
I'm sleeping in my parent's room tonight. Tomorrow we are going to bring the bat to the Huron Valley Humane Society to be tested for Rabies just in case. There has only been one case this year and only like 1% of bats carry rabies in Washtenaw County, but you can never be too sure. The lady I talked to said that you wouldn't know if you'd been bitten while sleeping because it would just look like a pinprick...and that's like finding a needle in a haystack...with all the mosquito bites I have...
Well, I'll keep you posted on the Bat News
