Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Sitting and watching TV here in suburbia (about 9:30 central time) when a winged creature flew thru the den and upstairs and into the master bedroom. As I closed the door on it to formulate a plan, I realized it was a bat -- about the size of a blue jay. Fortunately my wife was in another room behind a closed door! Grabbed some old towels and spent the next 5 minutes trying to swat it down without success. I guess the critter was getting tired as I was able to throw a towel at it and knocked it down, covered by the towel. I wrapped it up with another towel and released it outside where I hope it will eat its fill of those ever-present and dastardly mosquitoes. I'm awake now!
Yul Lose Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I've had to use a butterfly net a couple of times on the ones that have gotten in my shop when I'm working late. I've had to catch a hummingbird or two also that got lost in my shop.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 One of my favorites. I sometimes like to recite it in a Boris Karloff voice. The Bat By Ogden Nash Myself, I rather like the bat. It's not a bird, it's not a rat It has no feathers yet it has wings. It's quite inaudible when it sings. It zig zags through the evening air. And never lands in ladies' hair A fact of which men spend their lives Trying to convince their wives
