I think that White Nose Syndrome might have something to do with it, they've found some that have it in caves in the region.
And what is that?

It's freaky when you ride your bike under it while they are flying out

I love bats... I think they are cute.

Sad y'all don't have many

I regularly run under that bridge on my training route. It is pretty stinky!

I'd like to see that cave in Texas where all the bats fly out of. I saw it on some tv show.

Edit: This one.

We used to get San Antonio nightly news here when I was a kid. Sometimes when they did the nugget weather the radar would show the bats and they'd say never mind that its not rain clouds it's the bats leaving the cave.

Cool video but all I could think of was did he get attacked on his left nostril or did he lose a bar fight over his precious rats with wings?

I have been to the one in Austin (Congress Ave Bridge). Pretty cool! We have bats downtown here but, not a giant colony.

The lady from the sanctuary said this type of bat should be in hibernation and that the crazy weather is wreaking havoc causing them to wake up way too early.

You have to be a member of Bat Conservation International to go to the Bracken Cave. They have member nights so you can go see the bats emerge. They also have a special night where you stay all night and watch them come home to roost as well. I would love to do that.
