--047d7b10cf9527f12f04dd2eaeff Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I took several photos of this day-flying bat on Victoria Day, between 2 and 3PM. It would fly around for a while, and then stick to a tree or the side of the cottage for a few minutes. It was quite a bit bigger than the usual bats I see around the cottage. I watched it flying around the driveway and in the woods for a good hour. These were taken in mixed woods at Indian Harbour Lake, Port Hilford, Guysborough County, NS. Interestingly, I saw a very similar bat flying during the day around the same time a few weeks ago at Smiley's Prov. Park. Bat on Tree <http://www.flickr.com/photos/ideaphore/8759017889/lightbox/> Bat Flying <http://www.flickr.com/photos/ideaphore/8760142156/lightbox/> Let me tell you, it is not easy taking photos of a flying bat. Photos were shot at ISO 1600 with a telephoto, so they are a bit grainy. -- Rick Ballard Dartmouth,Nova Scotia, Canada --047d7b10cf9527f12f04dd2eaeff Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"font-family:georgia,= serif">I took several photos of this day-flying bat on Victoria Day, betwee= n 2 and 3PM.
