I don't have a belfry, so we had to settle for the gazebo.
We have a screened gazebo in the yard and thhis morning we had a bat hanging around.

It seems to be fine but I will check with the park naturalist just in case.

I don't know the species. I don't know much about bats except that they eat insects and are good for the environment.
And, no, they don't get caught in your hair.

Sam seemed quite upset over the blow to feline superiority.
