Last night my gal took me and a friend out to dinner and then we sat on the side of the hill next to the bridge at Waugh Drive between Memorial Drive and Allen Parkway to watch the show :) I thought I would share these with you...
There is a colony of Mexican Free Tail bats inhabiting the bridge and they all fly out around dusk they begin their predictable routine.
There are an estimated 250,000 bats living under this bridge (and guano smell) is unmistakeable. Every time the wind direction changed we got a whiff of it yikes.....
I love how nature finds a way to adapt to our urban jungle....

The bats generally fly out from the bridge and hug the south bank for about 200 feet before the column rises up and fly over the trees towards the dandelion fountain and then disperses to fly over the city and beyond, looking for prey
