These are Austin's famous Mexican Free-tailed Bats. They live under the Ann W. Richards Congress Ave. Bridge from March-November.
People gather every evening to watch the spectacle.
The bats take flight
By summers end there will be about 1.5 million bats after the bats have given birth. It is the largest urban bat colony in the world.
The streams of bats leave the bridge. They will comsume between 10,000 and 30,000 lbs of insects each night.
