Bats Under Austin's Congress Avenue Bridge Draw Tourists
The world's largest urban bat colony gathers under Austin's Congress Avenue Bridge with about 750 000 Mexican free tailed bats. Each spring they migrate from central Mexico, birth peaks in June, and pups cluster on the north nursery end while adults roost elsewhere. The colony draws up to 100 000 visitors annually and consumes 10 000 to 20 000 pounds of insects nightly.
