What's remarkable is that my friend and I realized that this bat was hanging directly above us after we'd spent five minutes photographing a sleeping pair of owls, a species that was new for both of us (https://www.jungledragon.com/image/110288/foothill_screech_owl_megascops_roraimae.html).
The owls were already an amazing stroke of luck, and then finding this bat was just the icing on the cake! Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago
