I like bats. So when I spotted a large, handsome Hoary Bat grounded at the side of the path while I walked Muir early one morning, my first thought – after I determined that it was not dead – was “how can I help? A different Hoary Bat, on a better day. It turns out, helping a bat is hard.

I cannot get the Hoary Bat out of my head. Hoary Bats roost in trees, not caves. So the Hoary Bat is migratory. Migration makes them vulnerable to straying: Accidental Hoary Bats have been found as far afield as Bermuda and Iceland. Shoot, it’s not working!

I’ve looked for bats, and havent found any, we don’t have spiders big enough to make the marks they did, and I felt sick (worst runny nose I’ve ever had, headache, sore throat) both times for a day or two after. Nose running, sore throat and headache. I noticed this time I have two perfect fang marks on my finger.

That’s quite the list of charismatic and unique wildlife to add to your potential list of sightings.

Brilliant little birds, it’s a good thing they are tiny because if they were any bigger and more organized, hummingbirds would undoubtedly conquer the world. Not convinced?
