Thanks for that article, Steve. This is on the Avalon in fact not so far from us in Conception Bay at all. I wondered if there were bats on the Southern Shore, apparently there are.

This may be not quite the right time for the lost bat to make a seasonal move, but maybe as November draws near this little bat will fly off to wherever they normally go for the winter.
Maybe back next year with friends?
Gotta say there are a LOT of moths in this area. Some years there are so many moths, the whole side of the building is just covered in em (I'm sure I have a pic somewhere from a few years ago it was ridiculous!) Pretty sure the bat is finding it a decent place to feed, so if it turns out to be normal for bats to wander around and rejoin their crew, it may well get the mommies in on the action. Fine by me (but I'd rather build a box than have them in the attic).
