Northern Ghost Bat: Frog Heaven, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, March 2025 — When we visited in March the folks at Frog Heaven were hosting a Northern Ghost Bat. Ghost Bats are solitary, rare, and seldom seen, but this one had found a roost right next to Frog Heaven’s little photo pavilion in the rainforest. They are rare enough so that our guide, born in Costa Rica, a life-long resident, and a birding and photography guide for going on 40 years, in the rainforest or cloud forest almost every day of his adult life, had never seen one before. Such a treat! Such a gift. Notice how the bat is hanging. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent (cropped and upscaled for something like 2000mm equivalent…the bat was at least 30 feet above us and only about 3 inches long). Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
