It has a medium high-pitched, short chirp or cheep, one-time, stops a

vocally when they get going. I can't pinpoint where this is, I have
a
cat so it is probably hiding, suspect the heat ducts but not sure
because the sound seems to alternate between the dining room and
spare
bedroom, kitchen or back hall, it is hard to track the sound. This
has
been going on for about a week now. I thought I might be hearing
things, but my daughter was here and heard it and asked what it was.

I bought a havahart live trap for smallish creatures, had a dickens
of a
time getting it set, daughter figured out the final step, and loaded
it
with sunflower seeds and a peanut. Nothing has happened yet.

A bat.

Yeah, see my last message. The last two a couple years ago came out and
flew around at night, and I was able to throw a bucket over them when
they landed in the open, take them out and release them in the morning
away from my home.

Cool that you didn't freak out about a bat like some people seem to do.
Bats are my friends out here where I live, they munch the mosquitoes and
never bother me. (don't want them in the house tho)

Reckon there is a bat trap?
