Bats, Bats, Bats...

We have recently had the opportunity to volunteer with the Bat Conservation International. And they invited us out to their nature reserve to see the Bracken Bat Cave. The largest urban bat colony in the world is downtown Austin – with almost 2 million Mexican Free-Tailed bats. But, if you have been to the Congress Ave Bridge, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! The Bracken Cave has 20 million bats!

And I took so many amazing photos of the emergence; it is going to be a few days worth of postings! So stay tuned for more bat pictures…
