Please consider adding this spotting to the new North American Bat Tracker mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/18306114
No I haven't yet, I just found it about an hour ago. I was gonna go check on it again in a few... It gets upset when I'm close, so I didn't want to bother it too much right now. But I know I need to make sure he gets better. So thanks for the reference!! I'll look someone up.
Have you taken it to a licensed wildlife rehabber? You can find a list of the ones in your area here http://www.mswildliferehab.org/
