austin tx: Austin's Bat Colony Providing a Valuable Insect Service - 10/12/06 10:38 PM

Austin might not have any theme parks or large zoos, but America's largest urban bat colony has become the city's best-known (and ecologically correct) tourist attraction.
It all started in 1980, when the team of engineers designing the Congress Avenue bridge unknowinlgly created the crevices that would soon become the home to the largest urban bat colony in North America.
More than 1.5 million bats emerge each night at dusk as they have for more than two decades from the bridge's underbelly. The bats blacken the otherwise red sky as they take off in search of food.
