While we were in Austin we decided to take a bat tour. I must say it was a pretty unusual thing to experience. Fun but unusual. And very smelly. The bats migrate from Mexico to the Congress Avenue bridge every spring from March to November to have their babies. They fly out from under the bridge to go in search of food every evening. This picture below was on the corner of Congress Avenue and Barton Springs Road on Lady Bird Johnson lake.

Capitol Cruises is just down from the Hyatt.
I couldn't resist a picture of this swan.

I have to say that we had a GREAT time in Austin but the bat tour was a little cheesy. It was dark when the bats started flying out from under the bridge so we didn't really get to see much. The best time to go on the bat tour from what I understand is in August. And that's only if you can stand the 100 degree temps with the humidity.
