They have this in their yard, too.

Cosmic Monkey Comics with @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social was just what I needed after a shitty day at work. Restored!

Dawn patrol.

A bat fell out of the eaves here and seemed a plump little kiwi fruit w no visible signs of injury. So we put the bat in the sun to warm up, in a higher spot. Flew off after a few minutes. Hopefully to find a cozy bat colony shelter. Interrupted hibernation? (yes yes we all know not to touch bats)
