Good story!
I've always liked bats, even more so when I learned they can eat thousands of mosquitoes each night.
When I was a kid, my sadistic younger brother would catch 'em at dusk with a fly fishing rod. I nursed several back to health then set 'em free. They're so tiny (at least the ones snagged in central Alabama) but they never hesitated to make noise & bear their teeth.
