My friend heard a thump while driving home after canoeing and found this little guy in the grill of his car this morning. Hopefully this accident will yield some benefit by donating the carcass to our local university.
This is an outside location, the bat had found a place away from foot traffic. Weight 18 g. Taken to wildlife rehabilitation facility, ambient temp. about 30 degrees F. Appeared dehydrated, looks like he's been there a little while - dusty.
Seems to have died on a cholla....
There were 2 bats flying in broad daylight, so I decided to try and take a video on my cellphone of one as it was flying over me. Then I paused the video and took screen shots, I think the photos turned out pretty good! haha Hopefully okay enough to ID it.
