Big Bats

This night shot was taken by a guests using a technique where they "wrote" in the sky with a light and then took the photos of their names.  He is swinging, and thought possibly an owl had swopped by, but when developing the shots, they could see it was a Big Bat!  They had a Park Ranger look at the photo, and the bat was identified as a Big Brown Bat.  :)   I knew we had bats, and we love that...they keep the mosquito population down.  I didn't know they were this huge!   We do LOVE the majestic Valley Oak the swing is in, and apparently so does the Big Brown Bat:)
