Hey BF, are you an OWL? You seem to be up with them into the wee hours. What a great day you 2 had and some great stories. Thanks.

Now how on Earth did he get his head in between the wires?? I wanted the guy to hurry up!  Thanks

babies would not be able to fly yet.....hope they called a "bat" person.  There must have been hundreds of babies.

Doesn't it depend on what time of year for the babies?

OMG....that's where all the Bats are! That's a lot. Where do they go during the day? I'll bet the whole roof was like that!

It's with sad news that I have to report this. I received a call from Beth at Wildlife Works in Pa. Callidora had to be Euthanized last evening with a severely injured wing. There was nothing anyone could do. There will be full details on Imprints soon.

This was the saddest news. Rest in Peace little girl. God Bless the ones who rescued her.
