I haven't been out for a while but finally had a chance to get out and was lucky enough to see this samoan flying fox hanging around. Been trying for about a year to find one that would cooperate for me. Just wish I could have gotten closer.

Good shot considering the difficulty. How close were you?

My brother brought home a bat last winter during a real cold snap. We had it from December til we let him go in late May. Quite the little character, very nice manners and loved to eat mealworms.

Thanks. I shot this with my 100-400 at 400mm. Still not quite enough reach as he/she was up quite high in the tree. They fly around my house close to dusk but I haven't even come close to catching one in flight.
