| At the Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin. The design of the bridge has attracted bats that come out to feed at dusk. This was my second visit. The first was on my 50 States 50 Days trip when we had torrential downpours and the bats didn't come out at all. This time there were bats but not the huge swarms that sometimes come out at dusk to feed. |
