The Hawaiian bat, 'ope'ape'a, is our only truly terrestrial native mammal. The only other native mammal you might see on land in Hawai'i is the monk seal, but most people would count it as a marine creature. 'Ope'ape'a are most common on the islands of Hawai'i and Kaua'i, but are also occasionally seen on other islands. Look for a small, fast-flying, acrobatic bat, swooping and looping erratically in the air just after sunset.

Hawai'i has no hummingbirds, native or introduced. Many people mistake the hummingbird moth (an introduced insect that enjoys nectar from flowers in peoples' yards) for a real hummingbird.

Hawaii's rare native birds include many nectar feeders, but these are a special group of birds called Hawaiian honeycreepers.

The most successful bat houses are those mounted on a building or a chimney at a height of 15 feet or more. In cooler climates the bat house should be mounted facing the south or east. In warmer climates all directions have proved successful. The house should face a clearing and be located away from branches or power lines. Bat houses with ventilation slots on the side should be mounted so the slots will not be obstructed by the eaves of the building.

Although bats rarely contract rabies, those that are found on the ground are more likely to be sick (or injured) and may bite in self-defense when handled. Consequently, children should be taught to never handle bats and pets should be vaccinated against rabies. If a bat is found grounded do not handle it with bare hands. Use leather gloves or a thick cloth to gently gather up the bat. Place the bat into a box, affix a lid and call a wildlife rehabilitator or organization for help.

The house may not be mounted in a good location or the house may be a poor design.

DR. ZUBELDIA: I think that what is clear is that the business issues are all going to be modifications. So, if there are any business issues in the errata list itself, they need to be sent through a DSMO process because they are going to be modifications. I think that is one thing that X12 needs to go through the errata list and instead of looking at what is a showstopper, what is a no showstopper, look at is this a business issue. If it is a business issue, take it through a DSMO process.

Certain animals, such as bats, insects and snails, are known to carry zoonotic diseases. Bats are known to carry rabies and histoplasmosis. Importing such animals for any reason requires permits from CDC and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. CDC permits are issued by CDC's Etiologic Agent Import Program, whose guidelines and forms can be found on their website. Because bats can be infected with and transmit rabies, permits are not granted for importing bats as pets.
