 Cayman Island Bats -- and their prey! (See LL) Apparently there are 3 species of bats living on the island, and I could not find any guide book that differentiated them, so any help in that department is definitely welcome! This was actually taken in Rebecca's Cave, a smallish open-air cave made famous on the island (Cayman Brac) when residents took refuge there during a hurricane in 1932. A baby girl named Rebecca died and the cave was named in her honor. There are several similar caves on the island and they are still considered the safest place during severe storms. Here you see two adults and two juvelines -- the second youngster is actually nursing, though that isn't obvious in this image. I chose this one because of the intimacy overall, and the accidental capture of a mosquito about to be eaten -- and it could not happen too soon! Canon 10D (which autofocused when I could not have MF'd to save my life, VERY dim light!), 100-400 IS on a tripod, set at 210mm. Camera-mounted flash at -2/3, flash as main light. ISO setting 400. Comments welcome. Lillian |
