As promised I went back to the bridge tonight and got some pictures of the bats I saw yesterday. These are most likely Mexican Free-tailed bats. These bats are insect eaters. Click on images to enlarge.
These pictures show the accumulated bat guano under the bridge. The bats are up in crevices in the bridge so the guano falls in straight lines on the concrete embankments. The smell of ammonia is powerful.
Just as the sun dipped below the horizon the first bats emerged and flew off. More and more bats began to swirl under the bridge until they exploded out in a stream and flew off to the northwest.

all these bat pix are so cool! I like the swirl of bats in the sky. Isn't the guano super fertilizer for some plants? I think I read that someplace.
