Flying foxes skim water to get their bellies wet, then lick the water off their fur during hot days to cool down.
]Great shots of a cool animal. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I’m glad you like them

My 1.4x TC is lost in the ice storm somewhere, so I just had to stand outside an extra half hour in the 10 degree wind chill to let them acclimate to me so I could get close enough today

You are the only one who thinks Nikon has poor colors. Overwhelmingly, photographers from all manufacturers comment that Nikon has great colors. Glad you are happy with Fuji and hope you stay there.
