Hi Cinda,
The bat must look bigger than he is because it's actually probably about half the size of my hand, small in my definition of a bat. I'm not sure but I think its probably an Evening Bat (Nycticeius humeralis). It best fits the description for my area. I live in an area where there is still deciduous forest around us. I've seen bats flying around but never hanging so close to have an opportunity to get a good look at one before.
What do you think?
