August is
prime viewing season for the Congress Avenue Bat Flight, where 1.5
million Mexican free-tailed bats stream out from joints under the
Congress Avenue bridge every evening in search of tasty bugs. It was
fascinating although I don't think my little digital camera does it
justice. More info here: http://www.batcon.org/discover/congress.html |
