Bats

While visiting Spencer's parents we went to a certain bridge to watch (thousands) bats leave their coverings (at sunset) to start their feeding.

While waiting for the bats... I kept myself busy with my sidekick - the camera.

The bats' home, a bridge.
Look at all that guano (bats' poop)... it stunk like tamales... seriously did.   
I might never be able to eat a tamale again.  Believe me.

It was, actually, a lot of fun.  We went out at sunset and watched thousands of bats depart their home... they flew in a swirl formation... kind of amazing.  
And gross too.

Ooo and I love these people too. Thanks so much for posting these. I'm too far from home. Ugh. Where is the gross bridge anyway?
