Bat Rescue

I found this motionless bat on the floor of our garage this afternoon. This happens once or twice a year then bats get in the garage and can't find the way out. After a couple of days without food or water we'll find the bats on the floor and they won't move.
The standard procedure is to put on heavy welding gloves, pick up the bat and place its face in a shallow tray of water. This bat immediately started drinking the water.
After a couple of minutes the bat was scampering around the garage looking for the door. I moved the bat outdoor and placed it in some shrubbery.
