A high flying bat! - 10-25-2007, 10:26 PM


There where a lot of bats flying in front of the moon tonight. There was about one per minute. This one stayed long enough for me to get into focus. A first for me..

Nice. I like the fact that it's small, makes the moon look huge!

Thanks for the comments. I was surprised how many where up there. Looking at the space the moon occupies and how many bats flew by multiplied by the whole sky, there must be millions of high flying bats! I was having a hard time getting a good enough focus to see what it is. Wish I had the DOF to get moon and bat in focus but I don't.. I captured about a dozen bats but only 1 decent shot!
