I didn't know owls hunted bats, but it makes sense...

I encountered a GINORMOUS bat one night driving home. I was in the Gilmanton Iron Works (GIW) area and had one hit my windshield. I was driving my big ol' Dodge Intrepid that night and I swear the wingspan on that sucker was like 2' - I'm not kidding. It scared the poopers out of me! I didn't know we'd get bats that big up here! I'm sure it didn't survive the impact and I was really amazed that my windshield survived!
