Here's a different species of bat from Southeast Arizona. It was unusual to get this one at the waterhole.

Very cool! The head-on view and water drops are terrific. The bit of reflection adds a lot. The overall darkness fits the subject well -

Another remarkable image. Particularly like the droplets and the reflection.

Nate: another great capture. With the bat in flight, droplets of water and a reflection, what could be better? Richard

These shots must be a real rush to first examine to see what you have! I love the "bearing down on us with menace" feeling this one evokes.
