I made dinner in the afternoon and set it aside so that things could go on fairly late at the top of the hill without having to make something when I came down. This worked out well, effectively keeping me off McFarlane's afternoon machete-fest re-opening some of the trails that tend to get grown over each year.
But then he bailed on the really fun part, heading up around 4:30pm to be up there at dusk and into dark to see (and hear) the amazing night stuff.
Several bat species were noted, but with the multitude of bats and just me dealing with them, I elected to just photograph one. This is a Seba's short-tailed fruit bat (Carollia perspicillata) and a super attractive animal. Big nose leaf, spiffy whiskers, and oh that sly smile.
