Natural wonder

Original post:  May 8, 2015

On a recent trip, we were able to witness something amazing. Under the Waugh bridge, there is a colony of 250,000 Mexican free-tailed bats. Unlike most of the other bat colonies in the area, they live year-round in Houston. Every day at dusk, they sweep out into the night in search of prey. For more detailed information from the web page, click on the photo below.

I caught a little of the action on video. Surprisingly, it took several minutes for all of the bats to soar away!

Slo-mo:
