One late afternoon, I noticed a small bat clinging to the side of our mudroom entrance. It just stayed there, calming blinking its eyes and bothering no one. I told the childen not to bother it. Perhaps it was lost or confused. We nicknames it StellaLuna, after the children's book. As I suspected, she was there when we came in for the day, and gone in the morning. It was very cool for the children to see a real bat up close like this. They were able to admire her and talk about what she looked like, all with a great view.
She was actually sweet-looking with her tiny blinking eyes and calmness.
