Bats - The Crowded Skies of Texas Summer Nights
August nights are full of life. Since this is the time of year that young
Mexican free-tailed bats begin to fly with their parents on nightly feeding
flights, it is the best time to watch bats. Because most free-tailed females
give birth to 1 pup each year, the population in some nursery roosts almost
doubles, making for a lot more activity come dinner time. In the fall, most
of these bats will migrate south for the winter, so now is the time to check
them out. Below are some links to where to find bats and more information on
bats.
