About This Item

bats in the cachefree version 2.JPG


Austin & Round Rock, Texas, are home to two of the largest urban bat populations in the world. The evening flights of Mexican Freetails (little critters taken one at a time) are sights to behold – folks have even called 9-1-1 to report the bridge a-fire – and the flights show up on the Doppler radar of the weather report.
To read more, see www.ctdxcc.org/bats/ www.batcon.org/discover/congress.html www.texasfreeway.com/Austin/photos/i35/i35_bats.shtml or send your favorite search tool after Texas and bat colony.
We love our little bat friends, who eat their weight in skeeters and other insectoid varmints.
Radar studies of the bats from Bracken Cave in Texas show that they fly as high as 10,000 feet (3,000 m), but are usually found at 600 to 3,200 feet (200 to 1,000 m) above the ground. (www.tpwd.state.tx.us/nature/wild/vertebrate/mammals/bats/natcropdusters.htm)

Alas, Version 1 was muggled in a far off cache in Australia.
Where she roosts, nobody can say.
So a new version is set out to the trails, ya
Thanks for helping it along on its way!

Version 2 -- pink Carlsbad Caverns 'Bat Viewer'
Version 1 (muggled -- SNIFF!!!!) Carved Tiger-Eye Bat Charm

Cooooooooooooool! I love bats! (Oh, and if you look at our Coconut Crossing log, the name's wrong. Sorry!) We'll drop this TB back in NY when we go home. Good idea for a travel bug.
