Congress Avenue Bridge Bat Watching

The Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin, Texas, is home to the largest urban bat colony in North America, with over 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats residing beneath it during the summer months. Each evening at sunset, crowds gather to watch the bats emerge in a dramatic, swirling cloud as they head out to hunt insects. This unique natural spectacle has become a beloved local tradition and a must-see attraction for visitors to the city.

Austin

Austin, Texas’ skyline at night is a vibrant blend of modern architecture and glowing city lights reflecting off the Colorado River. Towering skyscrapers like The Independent and the Austonian light up the sky, while the iconic Frost Bank Tower adds a distinctive, crown-like shimmer. From the shore of Lady Bird Lake, the view feels alive—dynamic, colorful, and full of the creative energy that defines the city.
