EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James Hager showcases the mesmerizing flight of a Cave Myotis (Myotis velifer) in captivity, located in Hidalgo County, New Mexico. The image captures the essence of this nocturnal mammal's behavior as it gracefully soars through the night sky. With its wings spread wide and a low angle view, we are given an intimate glimpse into the world of this remarkable creature. The Cave Myotis is known for its incredible adaptation to cave environments, hence its name. This particular individual has been captured in captivity, allowing us to appreciate its beauty up close. Its dark silhouette against the night sky creates a striking contrast that adds depth and mystery to the photograph. As one of North America's native bats, this species plays an essential role in maintaining ecological balance by controlling insect populations. However, they often go unnoticed due to their nocturnal nature and elusive behavior. In this image, we witness the elegance and agility with which these mammals navigate their surroundings. It serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse wildlife and highlights the importance of conservation efforts to protect these fascinating creatures. James Hager's skillful composition brings out every detail of this magnificent animal while capturing a moment frozen in time. Through his lens, we are transported into a world where bats take flight under moonlit skies – an awe-inspiring sight that reminds us of nature's wonders all around us.
