Little Brown Bats
Personal memory by Cliftine Fortin
2016 • Madison, ME, USA
I miss seeing Brown Bats. I loved going outside in the twilight, and watching them dart about after insects. I am fascinated that these little mammals have five fingers like ours. I rescued one in my garage once. He (she) hissed at me like a cat. The bat was so cute. I haven't seen them at twilight for a least 5 years or more.
