We evicted an unwanted camper yesterday at the park.
We don't know how he snuck inside.....he did not have a reservation....
But.....he was a happy camper between the rocks on the chimney....
It's dark up near the ceiling....there were bugs to eat ....
plus he had the fun of setting off the motion alarms during the night...
Which did not make for happy rangers....!!
There he is.....!!!
A Brown Bat...
This eviction involved nets and ladders...
(couldn't get the ladder close enough.....due to fireplace hearth)
Bennie the Bat was wedged between two rocks and it finally took a piece of cardboard duct taped to the net to prey the little fellow out the the crack and fall into the net....
It took precision and skill......3 rangers.....2 maintenance men.....2 photographers.....one net.....one very long pole...one roll of duct tape and an unused ladder....to remove one 6 oz bat....
Here he is......outside at last...!!
Look at that face....
Don't think he's a happy camper...!!
Life is Good
Ahwwwww he was just looking for a warm winter home!
ReplyDeleteI think the bat is proud of its fight. Evicted? Hey it took a bunch of you to do it. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a Brown Bat, I thought they all were Black.
Down here you have me wondering why bats are so scary to kids? That is a cute little feller.
I am sure the motion detectors were the main aggrivation. He should have stayed still and eaten the bugs that came near.
Excitement at as the work days wind down.
Sending nice warm thoughts from FLA!
Life is good for everyone but the bat. He caused quite a commotion and lots of man power, huh?
ReplyDeleteWe janitored our church for a long time and had a bat issue off and on. Hubby got pretty good at catching them but never that high up. They were usually down on the floor under something.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you just lost his reservation! :)
ReplyDeleteEWW Bats scare me, its like a rat with wings.
ReplyDeleteWell now he'll have to find a different home for the winter. I imagine he thought he'd found the perfect one for sure.
