Bats in the fireplace 'Twas two days before Easter when what to our surprise, a flutter- ing noise and a black creature drew our eyes. When within a blink came a startling bird. He folded his wings and dropped to the floor. It was then I jumped up and began to roar. "It's a bat, it's a bat!" Hubby grabbed a hand full of paper and reached to the floor. He encircled the critter and took him out the door. He opened his hand and the bat flew away. What a great way to start this wonderful day." fired the fireplace for a couple of weeks. We brought in some wood and put it into the fireplace, added a bit of crumpled paper and lit the pile with a match. Surely this would discourage anymore bats to enter our chimney. Although we once had to chase bats away from another house chimney I realized that I knew little about bats. I decided to do some research and discovered that there are several types of bats. Bats are the only mammals that can fly? It occurred to me that we had not Instead of feather they have a soft furry body and their wings are covered with soft, flexible skin. They have few enemies. Some such creatures are: cats, raccoons, weasels, snakes, owls and hawks. Barn owls may attack bat while they are leaving their cave at night. Bats roost in areas with small entrances to keep predators out. It has been said that bats are not really blind but they have fairly poor eyesight. They see mostly by hearing. Their hearing is called echolocation. A bat sends out clicks that cannot be heard by the human ear, about 20 to 30 per second. The sound bounces off its prey and returns to the bat. As a bat nears its prey, it can send out 300 clicks per second. Bats are the only living major predator of the night. The grey bat may eat up to 3000 living animals in a week. Most of these are insects. Wow, are these busy crea- tures! It is said that most bats are harmless, especially to humans. Some may carry rabies. However, vampire bats feed on animal blood. They bite and then lick up the blood. Thank goodness the little creature who entered our house through the chimney did not attempt to bite us. I am thankful that he was anxious to exit the house and did not experiment with any vampire attacks on us. Bats are worldwide and are found all over Canada and the U.S. Some bats may migrate up to 200 miles. Some can survive up to -30C temperatures. Some bats are known as mega bats and some as micro bats, which labels the bats size. Dif- ferent sized bats live in different areas, countries they can sense their surroundings by hearing through their rather large ears. The large ears allow the Bats to locate their food efficiently. I learned that there are structural differences between bat wings and bird wings. I am glad to have learned a bit following April events: •6-8 p.m. on Tues- day, April 17, at the Red Bluff Art Gallery, 601 Walnut St. Vendors include Bianchi Orchards, Wholesome Foods, Redwood Organ- ic Farm, Twining Tree Farm and Acres.
