Opossums released! Bats released! New little old ladies and one bat holdover. Sping has been kind to me.
Volunteer Dawn helped me check out a release site on her aunt’s property. It has a swamp, creeks, mixed hardwoods, and fields. We trekked out there with the 5 “babies” and had a little adventure. All 5 were fascinated by the smells and textures they had never encountered. This is the group that came in the fall and needed more supportive care than I had ever provided. They were going downhill quickly and it felt like a life or death race. They did stabilize and started growing, and growing!
Here is a video of the Precious Possums Pentad, once known as the Pitiful Possum Pentad, once they were a little more stabilized.
This is the last video of them- Twinkle was unsure about leaving me (although she did desire to be free) and chased after me. This was painful but necessary.
BAT RELEASE!!!
