Mexican Long-tongued Bat

Common name: Mexican Long-tongued Bat

Scientific name: Choeronycteris mexicana

 

The highlight of staying at Sunglow Ranch last weekend was seeing the bats come to the hummingbird feeders.These bats are migratory, spending summers in southern Arizona and winters in Mexico. So we see them in their spring and fall migrations. These bats are important pollinators of several cacti species.
