Trilobite

Yesterday Sue Meech from the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre called Celine and said the bat we brought there in January was ready to be released. She wanted the bat to be set free within 20 meters of the place he was found, and near a tree. So at dusk last night Connie (a volunteer at the centre) went to Celine’s apartment with the bat in her backpack. I went too, and Connie brought a friend named Brian (group photo). Brian used to own a record store in the same building and told me stories about standing in that very same hallway in 1980. His store was in Rheni’s studio.

We all went out onto the roof and Connie took the bat out. He was in a sock in box in her backpack. She had a second bat in another sock, and she and Brian were going to relase it at another house in Kingston. Celine opened up the sock and put it at her feet, and a minute later the little guy started wriggling out (close up). Once he was out he flew in two or three circles around the roof and then went straight into the crack between the buildings. He must be happy to be home!
