- 02/18/19 11:27 AM
Today we honor our nations Presidents and their many contributions to our great country. Thank you and Happy President's Day!

Believe it or not there are 1.5 million bats (the world’s largest urban bat colony) that fly out every summer night from under the Congress Avenue Bridge (officially the Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge). They are a sight to behold! Thousands of residents and visitors flock to view the bats spiraling into the summer skies! The Congress Avenue Bridge was reconstructed in 1980. The engineers had no clue the new crevices underneath the bridge would make the perfect bat roost even though bats had lived there for years.
