BAT'S LAIR ( P 1 X A 3 ) SWEEPER IN OPERATION

I joined Chris Dodds and some other great photographers at the Pond at Elephant Head to shoot some bats this past September. It's quite an experience. Despite technical difficulties that seemed to plague me, I still came away with some pictures I'm proud of. This bat was captured by setting your camera to take a picture every 10 seconds. A beam is set up across a small (read small "very" small") pond which triggers the flash as a bat crosses the beam. You end up with a lot of black images and some wonderful keepers. I'll post an example of the other set up which uses a flower the bats love and triggers for both camera and flash.
Female on the left and male on the right. The Bat Falcon (Falco rufigularis) is a small falcon that is widely distributed in humid lowland forests of the Neotropical region, from northern Mexico to northern Argentina, reaching elevations up to 1,500 m above sea level. The upperparts are predominantly bluish black, sometimes varying to bluish gray depending on the region. The throat is white, while the breast is marked with white-and-black bars, and the lower belly and thighs are a distinctive orange color. The cauré can be distinguished from the similar and sympatric (but much rarer) falcão-de-peito-laranja (Falco deiroleucus) by its smaller size, narrower white barring on the lower breast, more restricted orange on the upper breast, and more easily, by its distinctive vocalizations. This falcon’s flight is characterized by rapid and strong wingbeats, with agile turns and twists alternating with occasional glides. Its hunting method includes attacks launched from high, exposed perches to capture flying insects, birds, or bats. It is especially active during twilight hours and is not shy. The species nests in natural cavities of old trees or cliffs, but also in nest boxes, buildings and other human-made structures. The clutch size can vary between two and four eggs. The main threat to this species is deforestation.

Canyon bats are active in the evening and early mornings. Occasionally I'll see them in the late mornings skimming the pool to quench their thirdt
Just in case you've forgotten,,, Well, I've just found out that this was two days ago, while I visited their colony only yesterday. There is also The (more appropriate I guess) International Bat Night in August.
Anyway, I've chosen one shot (that does not require parental guidance) to mark this occasion.

The Bat Falcon is a widespread small falcon of forest and clearings in the Neotropics. It occurs from Mexico south to northwestern Peru and, east of the Andes, northern Argentina. It is dark slate gray above, with an obvious white throat, black-and-white barred breast, and orange lower belly and thighs. Bat Falcons can be distinguished from the similar and sympatric (but much rarer) Orange-breasted Falcon (Falco deiroleucus) by their smaller size, more compact structure, narrower white barring on the lower breast, and more restricted orange on the upper breast. Bat Falcons generally hunt around dawn and dusk at forest edge or over the canopy, often along rivers or road cuts, or at the edges of small crop fields. As the name implies, they feed on bats, but also prey on birds and insects (mostly aerial). They nest in adopted cavities, on cliffs, or on man-made structures and defend their territory aggressively. doi.org/10.2173/bow.batfal1.01

Every evening thousands of bats fly out of Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico's main entrance at or near sunset. One of those amazing wildlife experiences. They continue to exit the cavern for 1 to 2 hours.

One of the most unusual flowers we saw on our recent visit to Kauai. The bat flower (Tacca chantrieri) is native to southeastern Asia, but thrives in Hawaii's tropical climate. It may be grown as a houseplant in colder climates.
Thanks for stopping by!

With recent rumours about the future fete of this beautiful 747-SP this photo shows 'BAT' just moments before a big rainstorm taxing back to its hangar after arriving late one Sunday afternoon. Photo taken at Bournemouth Hurn International Airport (BOH/EGHH) on the 15th February 2015.

Each morning we were in Samburu, these guys could be relied upon to be soaking up the early morning sunlight outside their self-dug den.

This may not exactly be what you were expecting, yet
it is an interpretation...

She flutters her lashes, slow and sly,
a teasing spark in her bright young eye.
A mischievous smile she doesn’t quite hide,
like she knows the effect
and enjoys the ride 😉
Fruit Bat Falls, located in Australia's Apudthama National Park on the Cape York Peninsula, is named for the distinctive wing-like shape of the rock formation over which the water flows. The falls have no known "fall" in the historical sense, but have been a popular and well-regarded natural attraction for travelers and 4WD adventurers for decades, offering safe, croc-free swimming.
"Same Bat time, same Bat channel." This phrase was said at the end of every tv show on the original Batman series. Now it is often used to refer to an occurrence that has an identical time table as a previous one. Interesting how some expressions get started only to become part of our everyday phraseology. I say this because today's post is the same time and place (channel) as yesterday's post.
Take for example the decades old phrase, "the hole 9 yards". Many wonder why it is not 10 yards, thinking the phrase is from football. Rather, it has nothing to do with football and everything to do with the length of ammunition in the wing of a WWII Spitfire. While strafing the enemy, pilots would say, "give him the hole 9 yards."
Tacca chantrieri, the black bat flower, is a species of flowering plant in the yam family Dioscoreaceae.
