AOR female, found during light showers during a week of intense raining and resulting high waters. Pretty much already off the road when found, but moved a little bit further away in the direction of travel.

I'm not 100% sure what this MIKI is eating: at first, out in the field, I though it was a bird of some kind- possibly a Carolina wren. Then some of the photos on my camera made it look like a piece of fried chicken. Now that I am looking at the photos on my larger monitor, it looks like it might be a bat? I unfortunately did not have the best angle to capture the bird in action- the sun was in my face and there were trees in the way.

Update: It is (was) definitely a bat, and has been ID'd in a separate observation as an Eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis). RIP bat.
