[Maine-birds] 2 crows and a bat

Around noon today I saw 2 bats closing in on a bat fluttering through our yard in Hallowell.  

Ultimately one of the crows was successful, caught it in its beak and they both flew off.

It appeared to be light brown and on the small side. It was flying in a soft fluttery manner, like I have seen a few times before in late spring days.

Sorry to see the capture as we could use more bats...

What was a bat doing flying around in late January?
