Texas: bats cruise

We decided to take a sunset bat cruise while in Austin.  There are 1.5 million Mexican Free-tailed Bats that live under Congress bridge and come out in swarms every summer night at sunset!  It was a pretty unique experience!

there they go!


people stand on the bridge to see them fly away


we realized that the bats "relieve" themselves as they fly out...a few times we were underneath the bridge and covered our faces to protect them from the "rain"
