Just west of Sacramento, California, underneath a three-mile-long causeway, a colony of 250,000 Mexican free-tail bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) has established a summer roost in the expansion joints of the freeway. Seeing the nightly fly-out of 10's of thousands of bats is stunning.
Great shot Michael. I keep saying that I will get down there for the fly out. Maybe this will be sufficient incentive. I love the 300+1.4. They live on my A1 most of the time. Fabulous bit of kit.
I love that lens combo, either on my A1 or my A7RV. And make an effort to get down there. If you want company, let me know. It is simply an amazing sight to see, and photograph.
Such a great shot. Way to focus and be patient. Isn't it so cool when you realize you are seeing something that only a miniscule number of other humans have witnessed?
Amazing and wonderful story and photograph. Red Freetails in the Sunset!

Thank you Sherry. And yes, it is very special to be able to see things few others take the opportunity to witness.
