It has been great information about our “other” flying wonders besides birds.
So Co Wildlife Rescue is the local rehab group.
Yolo is amazing in the walks and talks they give.
Norcalbats works with them.
Great people, great jobs done.

You might reach out to yolobasin.org which is the foundation that gives bat tours and talks about bats that live under the Yolo Causeway. They really know bats.

Just wanted to chime in here before the list moderator shuts us down for non-bird related posts.
While unusual - diurnal activity in bats isn’t necessarily a cause for concern. I’ve observed bats moving /foraging in the daytime on a number of occasions in the state. One was a sighting of a silver-haired bat flying over the desert in Oasis mid-morning and landing in a stand of Cottonwoods. This was presumably a migrant that found itself out in unsuitable habitat and continued to move until finding a place with trees to roost in.
I've also observed bats (identified to species) several times foraging in the afternoon at mid-elevation in the Sierra.

Hi I live in Sebastopol- Robinson Rd. I just had a large brown bat catching insects in my yard. I’ve never seen one in the day light displaying that behavior.Perhaps they are migrating?

They have emergency bat rescue info and a contact number.

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.
