I was sitting down eating dinner and listening to a podcast, when all of a sudden a black object flew directly towards me. At first I thought I was seeing things, then I realized it was some kind of animal. "OH, WHOA [censored]!" I yelled as I ripped the storm door open and ran out of the house like it was on fire.
I looked in and could see this dark object flying around. After pacing around outside, I noticed it stopped, so I went back inside with my motorcycle full-face helmet on as a precaution.
Turns out it wasn't a bird, but a bat. It ended up resting on one of my window screens. I grabbed a bucket from the garage and held it over the bat while unhooking the window screen from the frame. After a count of 3, I threw the entire window screen and bucket out of the window and onto the ground. Problem solved.
This is how my evening went. I didn't even have any windows open while this happened, which makes me wonder how the bat got in.
