Bat Flight Prediction

Bat Fest

Monday, August 26, 2019 · Congress Avenue Bridge · Austin, TX

The sonic assault from the Austin American Statesman parking lot battered the bats all afternoon, with the addition of a laser light show after dark. Can’t we find a better place for that kind of show? Is this how we show our appreciation and love for the bats?

The bats flew out in the rain during Bat Fest, totally surprising, and unprecedented in our experience. We wonder why they would do that.

Next night was not a bad emergence, for the evening after Bat Fest!  Nice to see they apparently did not move to another roost. Well keep checking!
