Sonoma Wildlife Rescue rescues bats. And other wildlife in Sonoma County. Phone: (707) 992-0274
The bat may have been resting and caught out “after light”.
Often a bat with rabies becomes paralyzed, cannot hang, or fly. Never touch a bat with bare hands!
I have not heard of any avian influenza in bats but it has jumped to some marine mammals and to mountain lions.

Hi Naturalists
Today a friend sent video of a large dark bat clinging to a screen at Patisserie Angelica in Sebastopol. In full daylight. It was moving. She didn’t seem to get images of the face.
Considering rabies/white nose, this felt like something we should report. Please forward if you know someone in the area who might be able to help.
