Picture of the Month

bats under leaf

 

Honduran White Tent Bats (Ectophylla alba), Sarapiqui Valley, Costa Rica

 

These tiny bats, little larger than walnuts, crowd together under a heliconia leaf in the Caribbean lowland forest of  Costa Rica.  They build their tents by chewing the edges of the leaf midrib which forms a watertight, and apparently cozy, structure.  There are twelve bats here - try and count them.

PHOTO TOURS 2008:  Kevin will only be leading one photo expedition this coming year, with Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic to magical South Georgia Island.  With a full week on South Georgia and three days in the Falklands, it will be a trip not to be missed.  Joining Kevin on board will be photographer Flip Nicklin, writer Kim Heacox and Photo Expedition leaders Jack and Rikki Swenson.  For more information, go here ---  or contact me with questions.
