About me: Austin Bats, complete guide on Congress Avenue
Bridge Bats by Merlin Tuttle. A must visit website
before you plan to visit south congress bridge for
bat watching tour in 2018.
Austin is filled with many great attractions to
satisfy a variety of interests. One of the most
unique and celebrated attractions in Austin is a
naturally occurring phenomenon and costs
absolutely nothing to enjoy. Austin's amazing
population of 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats
is one of the most unique aspects of an already
exceptionally unique city. The congress street
bridge in Austin, Texas is home to over 1.5
million bats.
Austin's love affair with those delightful
little bug-eaters is epic, and is celebrated every
year with a bat-tastic festival held right on the
Congress Street Bridge, while the honorees sleep
below.
