Bats on the ground are likely injured or sick. Bats can't really take off from the ground.

Seeing them during the day is unusual but not completely abnormal.

Out during the day could mean it's rabid.

Personally like bats. In NY we had some roosting near our house. At dusk/early eve we used to sit in the back yard and watch them.

They'd come over the house and drop into the yard and do strafing runs the length of the yard and pull up into the woods.

Was enjoyable to watch.
