Lil Drac is lucky to be saved & cared for. Thank you for sharing.

Ever since I read Kenneth Oppel's "Silverwing" series I have liked bats. They tend to get a bad rap, except in Austin TX, where watching the bats fly out from under some bridge each night is mega tourist attraction. Congrats on Li'l Drac's rescuers!

Bats are amazing.

I have one that lives outside in the board siding of our sun room. It has been there for at least a good four years. It swoops down & out just before dark. I think it had a friend last year too, because I saw two swooping down & out.

I found two in town last year & wasn't sure if they were alive. A young boy on a bicycle stopped off & the little brown bat was still alive but its friend was dead. I scooped it up on a piece of card board & put it in my trunk & took it home & released it. It flew up onto our over hang & was there all day until just before dark. It would not of had a chance in town with the traffic & I think someone that owns a store front opened up the awning & things went down hill for the two bats after that.
