I got a #BatSignal again today! Drove all the way over to Orlando to pick up this grounded little mama bat and bring her back to a rehabber in Tampa.
She was very vocal and “big mad” about her situation but other than some dehydration and a very preggo belly she’s in great shape for releasing soon!
The usual disclaimer:
I’m only a volunteer transporter, I do not touch the bats. The person holding her in this image is a vaccinated, trained, and certified rehabber.
If you are US based and interested in being a volunteer transporter, the link to sign up is below. That org is based in TX but maintains the database for volunteer transporters throughout the US. No training needed, and no pressure: if you’re ever texted to make a run and just can’t do it that day for whatever reason they just keep going down the list to the next available person. https://forms.gle/yPTYPey5nCyYWwsS9
