Bat

I took this yesterday. He was sleeping on my neighbors fence. This is my first photo post here so hopefully I hit all the right buttons.

That's a great portrait of this bat. It appears to be a Mexican Free-tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensis).

You might want to make your photos a little bit smaller than this. Those of us with big monitors don't mind, but I'm sure there are some with smaller monitors and lower resolutions who can't enjoy your whole image at once. Usually under 800 pixels wide is a good standard for non-panoramas.

Welcome aboard!

Do you have a picture of an Old Bat, or would that be posted under the People forum.

Cool shot and find! I wonder why he was out in the open sleeping? Sick, maybe? I thought they only came out at dusk and then were back in the dark before the sun came up.

But, I don't really know much about bats. I'll have to go consult Google.
