Bats |
The category is ... Bats During the warmer months, Austin is home to America's largest urban bat colony. By day, more than 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats live under the Congress Avenue bridge. At sundown, they emerge from their sleeping place, hungry and ready to feast on insects. When the days grow colder, the bats migrate to their winter home in central Mexico. In what month do the bats begin their migration south? Now, get searching and find the answer! Pssst ... want a hint? The Austin360 web site is a good reference for local information. Since bat viewing is such a popular event, they probably have some useful information. |
