It's not everyday you get a bat in your house. More often, if you do get one, it is in the attic. So when my husband told me he saw a glimpse of a bat in our spare bedroom, I was skeptical. He, however, was quite sure a bat was hidden somewhere in the room.
Our spare bedroom is called the Captain's Room because of all the numerous bunk beds that line the walls like on a ship. It is full of hiding places! We had to think like a bat. Where would be a nice, dark, hiding place to roost all day? The drapes that surround the bunks seemed like a perfect spot.
We were right! When we got to the final drape to check, we found the cute, sleeping, furry creature tucked in the folds of the material.
Wearing thick gloves and using a container and cardboard, we scooped him off the curtain. Then he was released on an oak tree safe outside where he belongs.
We definitely won't forget having a surprise encounter with this amazing little bat.
