Kit and Carol on the Road

Have you ever tried to take a picture of a bat?, hundreds of bats?, thousands of bats. Very close to our house Broadway crosses the Pantano wash and that bridge is a premier Tucson bat area. Now there is a new bike trail under the bridge. The bats have arrived early this year. Not yet the 200,000 seen here in earlier years. The babies have yet to be born. But at precisely the hour of sunset (6:34 on Thursday) they come flying out from under the bridge and fly into the sunset. They spend the evening chasing insects as these Mexican Free Tails are insect eating bats. We hear they like to dip into our pool for a drink but we have never seen them. It was a pretty impressive sight.
