I walked out for a smoke about 45 minutes ago and saw a bat just laying on the side walk. It seemed to have fallin from the tree or lost its grip on the roof. I looked at it closer and saw it had two baby bats attached to its underside. I grabed a paper plate and a broom and swept it up onto the plate and put it on the backyard table so the cats out front wouldnt mess with it. i went out there about 5 minutes ago and it was no where to be seen. I was just wondering if the bat with the young attached to its underside took flight or something.

Your bat probably fell from the tree and was stunned from the fall. After you swept it up ant took it to safety, it came around and flew away. Bats will fly in the daytime, but they generally wait until night when they have fewer predators to worry about and they can readily find insects to eat around street lights and such.
It's really interesting that you saw a bat with suckling young--I've seen a lot of bats, but I've never seen that before. Cool!

Wow, that was a great find. You probably will never see that again in your entire life. You did a good thing! Congrats.
Too bad you did not watch it from a distance for a while.
It probably lost grip and fell as you believe. When it hit ground it was most likely stunned. Hopefully it regained its composure and flew off back to a good hiding place.

We get bats in our yard and driveway alot during the summer in the day time. Don't worry about it. That bat probably woke up and realized that he needed to get somewhere safer. She'll be fine! No worries!

Probably took off or is hiding somewhere. Be careful not to let it in the house or touch it--they are notoriouos for carrying rabies virus.
