More Nectar Bats

I had to go try again. There is something addicting about this, to keep taking photo after photo hoping for that one great photo to appear. It doesn’t happen very often. I can’t say that any of the images I got last night are great, but there were some keepers. As always, one can right click on an image and open in a new tab or window for a larger view.

My hosts have a tall step ladder to get closer to the agave flowers. Last night I used some bungie straps to fasten my tripod to the ladder and got this. I think I should have spent more time on the ladder.
I spent most of the night working the bats at the Octopus Agaves with a handheld camera/lens, prefocused. Here is a Lesser Long-nosed Bat taking off after getting a drink of nectar.
There is a species of bat called the Yellow Bat, but this isn’t it. A Lesser Long-nosed Bat covered in pollen.
It seems like there is room for all at these agaves but the bats have their conflicts.
Ow!
A bundle of bats.
