Finally started to get serious about trying to capture bats over the waterhole. Captured this image last night using a Cognisys Sabre II in bat mode, 2 Cognisys flash triggered directly by the Sabre. Nikon Z9, f9, ISO 800, shutter set to bulb. Nikon 24-120 at 46mm. I believe this is a Yuma Myotis bat. Tiny guy with a head and body length of 1.5-2”. Photographed at Desert Photo Retreat, Marana, Arizona.
