This big brown bat was flying around my patio catching moths this afternoon. It usually sleeps behind a shutter on the front of my house. It's currently hanging from the patio roof supports.
My biggest surprise of the day! I didn't even see it against the mud until I stepped too close and it hissed/squealed at me. I'm guessing it somehow ended up in the pond and managed to swim to shore, but then it ended up exhausted and unable to go any farther.
