The first and only time I recall seeing bats was when I visited Austin in iirc 1997.
alfreda89 took me to see the Congress Bridge Bats emerge for their nightly foray.
That was a lotta bats.
I sat out on the deck this evening and watched the sun set. As dusk fell and a single star flickered, I spotted a small shape flitting back and forth at treetop height. Every so often, another shape would join it, and they would both dart and dip through the branches. Little eggs with stubby wings. I am pretty sure they were bats, the first ones I've ever seen around here, out for an evening bug hunt. No clue what kind they were. Possibly little brown bats, which are common just about everywhere.
Bats eat mosquitoes. Bats are cool.
