Not only a fun shot Norm, but very nicely done ~ Ron
Thanks Ron,
This species, Mexican long-tongued bat, usually winters in Mexico but I'm told that some will overwinter in S. AZ if the temperatures don't get too cold. So far there are still a few that come around throughout the night.. But now, I get bored waiting for them. This one had just left the feeder and hadn't retracted it's tongue all the way. They are sloppy feeders spreading the top of the feeder as they leave.I've been told that the tongue is almost as long as the body but I haven't verified that. It is definitely longer than the head. With all the fun poking at Miley Cyrus, I thought I'd join the club.
