Hmm, birds at night? Night-birds then?

For the birds
He squirrels his way along branches
That bend under his weight and whip as he departs.
“Birds or bats?” asks a guard as Red drifts past.
“Better be birds!” — those are words from the heart.

Greg - ugh. Fine, glad you were able to make use of the night birds to help Red out.

Did enjoy the picture this one painted, between Red's movements and the guard's reaction.
