Never have I seen a ballet as elegant or precise as one choreographed by big fish-eating bats Nochtilo Leporinus over the river caught in lights making wondrous sweeps and swoops turns and glides up and down and around under a canopy of stars out heel and toe with caiman gliding into the river or already there star-ing waiting birds settled for the night kingfisher, scarlet ibis, heron of every bill and feather little bats Rhynchonyctera and Abiventris abound yet the master ballerinas are the big fish-eatingbats with extended feet a great scoop of oiled webbing for holding surprised wriggling fish. what joy what fascination what bugs about the neck and eyes and ankles. |
