Last night before dark we were setting on the porch. I spotted something
of the end of the porch. It was about the size of your thumb and the color
of a dead leave. I ask the woman what is that? She said looks like a leave.
I said it moved a little. She got up for a better look. She said it is a live.
The she got her broom a swept it off the porch. It landed in the yard with
wings spread. The wings where about 4 inch each. It was a young Bat.

It slowly folded it wings back up and was little again. So we watch it as
we set in our rockers. It started hopping about 2 or 3 in. at a time until
it go to the door steps, then using it's wing like hands it climb up the steps.
First time in my life to see that. When it got to the third step it turned
around and faced the edge of the step and just set there for a while.

We were still all eyes, and after about ten minutes it hopped off the step
a flew away. It went into the trees across the street.

I wish I had took pictures but didn't think to.
