Cypress Creek Bridge

Thursday, February 7, 2019 · Congress Avenue Bridge · Austin, TX

Went to Wimberley to meet a TPWD biologist and assist in swabbing for Pd.  She cancelled due to having run into a nest of seed ticks earlier in the day – Bummer!  But what a beautiful roost!  These bats have chosen a sweet spot to over-winter.  The bridge spans a crystal clear creek that whispers through the cypress roots as it flows from Blue Hole down toward the Blanco.  Hopefully they will be spared the regular spring flooding of the Blanco by roosting a half mile up a tributary to that magnificent and wild river.

Some of the more than 100,000 Tadarida brasiliensis over-wintering here
