About This Camera

Up to ~1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats roost under the Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge in downtown Austin and stream out at dusk from spring through early fall, North America's largest urban bat colony. There is no verified dedicated 24/7 live cam of the bridge emergence; the bats are primarily a live in-person spectacle, so this is a link-only reference to the visitor guide.

Conservation Context
