I was digging on a new DH trail i'm working on today, and while shoveling some loose, loamy dirt, I hear a hiss. Ready to chop it if it was a rattler or a copperhead, I look down and find this:
A live, full grown bat. Weird looking little guy. My dog went nuts trying to eat it, and everytime I tried to toss him away from her, its wings would catch the air and glide down into an awkward crash landing. Eventually it flapped a little bit and caught onto a branch, hopefully it recovers tonight and flies off. Anyway, I'm not sure where I thought bats lived but I didn't think they dug holes.
