Author's comments:
Ya con los músculos calientes tratando de levantar vuelo, trepaba por la pared ayudada por sus patas y alas, luego voló. Esa noche estaba fresca, unos 19º C y debe necesitar tal vez unos 30º C internamente para que los músculos de vuelo funcionen eficientemente, por eso en la foto anterior el temblor de las alas y en éstas cuando logró la temperatura adecuada.
