New bat

[den]

I just rescued a female freetail. She was in some firewood and got tossed around, and in her tumbling something tore a strip of skin and fur from her right leg, from her thigh to her ankle. It's very raw and painful. She can still use the leg but she doesn't want to and I don't blame her. I can't release her until it warms up in early august so it looks like I have a long-term resident.

The vet gave me some ointment to rub on. I hope it helps.

I think I'll name her "Kay." She weighs 9 grams.

Hope she'll make it. I understand it's pretty cold (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/sfgate/object.old.cgi?object=/news/pictures/2003/07/03/meerkats6.jpg&paper=gate&file=dip.DTL&directory=/gate/archive/2003/07/03&format=dip) in Ozzieland right now.

It is rather cold here, but in Sydney they don't really know what cold is. They should move to Dubbo. (http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/ASXX0265_f.html)

Cool, a new bat :-)

I saw a pair of little bats dive bombing for bugs this evening at twilight while I was working on my trailer.

They were pretty much undisturbed by all the smoke and bang from the fireworks the kids were setting off too.

Is Kay a MIB agent by any chance??? ;-)

CYa!
