Yeah people imagine dracula due to too many midnight movies. I had
to
kill
one once and it was on my boat about 14 miles off shore of avon
ohio
in
lake erie. This bat was all over us for some strange reason...
there
was a
big coast gaurd research boat watching us kill the bat too. (they
were
throwing test bats at us i think)

I wouldn't put it past them :-). That was funny about the coast
guard
part. The rest was not. Seriously you had no choice in your
situation
to kill it if you couldn't get it to leave you alone.

Yeah I think it was keying on the boat electronics footprint or
something,
and in the mean time guys in uniforms are watching us thru binoculars
from
a cutter. It was freaky.

Maybe they thought you were Cuban refugees who had somehow gotten off
course and come down the St. Lawrence River. Heh, the t-word comes to
mind. They were just bored and had to scope you out and act officious
and obnoxious and sic the bat on you. Their radar may have affected the
bat because that behavior was unusual especially if in the daytime.

At any rate, hope you come to an agreement with your intruder, what
ever it
turns out to be.

Yes, we may have to settle for a peaceful coexistence. It cheeped a
little bit ago. I called animal control, said I didn't want them to
come out, asked if they knew what it could be, they said I had to call a
professional trapper. Yeah, right, you know what they would charge. My
granddaughter's bf's father does pest control; he may have some ideas
about it and might help me catch it so I've got a call in to her so we
can get in touch with him. If he can do anything, he would at least
give me a price break. Whatever it is, I don't want to kill it. At
least it isn't a snake.
