Description
My remote outdoor camera captured a coyote as a pallid bat was passing by. Ricky Gervais calls bats “mouse angels” and this one really fits the bill. The bat is blurred because my camera is not adapted for its speed, but when slowing it down frame by frame, it’s easy to tell that’s what it is. Pallid bats feed on the ground and tend to follow wild canids around to take advantage of the insects they stir up. I get them often with coyotes and foxes. A note on the equipment: Infrared technology makes it look like the animal is in a spotlight when it is not. When looking at the camera, only a dim red LED can be seen, but it’s enough to provoke an animal’s curiosity at times. This photo was captured on the evening of January 22, 2019 in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona about 40 miles south of Phoenix.
