Listen up, night owls and wildlife enthusiasts! Get ready to witness a sky full of fluttering silhouettes as you join the bat-watching brigade in Austin. Every evening, from spring through fall, around 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats emerge from under the Congress Avenue Bridge at sunset, creating an astonishing natural spectacle. Grab a picnic blanket, some good company, and keep your eyes peeled for the nightly mass exodus that turns the sky into a living, moving canvas.
