restomanToday we were working at moving accumulated 'stuff' out of my workshop to get the place ready to be sold. Mark picked up a box of ceramic tiles that was sitting in a corner, and dislodged this little guy from his hiding place behind the box:
Apparently he was hibernating in the house all winter. He was very groggy and disoriented, with sawdust on his face. He did not seem to be injured. I picked him up in an old cap and carefully put him outside on the porch. After a few minutes he regained his composure and flew away.

I don't know whether the bat was a male or female, even though I refer to it as a male. I have no idea how to tell the sexes apart, and I'm not sure that I would want to examine one closely enough to find out!!
He did complain about being woken up, and complained even more about being picked up, but I had his best interests in mind.
If I ever get to Austin, I want to watch those bats at sundown!!!
