Yesterday we stopped at the flagship Whole Foods store, located under the corporate offices in Austin. We stopped at a Lush store, too, so Karen and Kris could get fancy soap. We stopped by the Congress Avenue Bridge to watch the Mexican free-tailed bats do their evening flight. They didn't fly until it got pretty dark, it was hard to see them without lights from tour boats and camera flashes. The picture is a view looking down on the bats from the bridge. Last August the bats flew when there was still a lot of light in the sky. One possibility is that there is more food available than late last summer and the baby bats have not been born, so they feel less need to come out so early. There are lots of crickets that they could feed on right now.
