Cottage Pics - the bat

[Don Sleeth]

One night, when we were sitting by the water, a bat flew in and landed on our birch tree. The lighter pic was taken the next morning, he stayed the night!

Called a "Big Brown Bat" but actually about a 2 inch body
and a 12 inch wingspan.
"Little Brown" has a 1 1/2 inch body both indigenous to Canada.

This guy hibernates somewhere nearby.
Not usually associated with rabies but beware.
Lives to 9 years.

Good shot.
