Key points The bats were first noticed by Cassandra Estrada, who heard an unusual sound around 6 a. Video recorded at the school around 9 p.
A charter school is having bats removed from its roof and exterior. The bats were first noticed by Cassandra Estrada, who heard an unusual sound around 6 a.m. one morning. She described the sound as fast flapping, similar to wings, but unlike birds. Video recorded at the school around 9 p.m. showed small, winged animals flying around the rooftop.
Animal Care Services believes the bats are likely Mexican free-tailed bats, a small species that can fit into tiny holes. Further details about the removal process and the school's plans are available from the source. The bats' presence was noticeable at dawn and dusk, but the air around the roof was clear during the day.
