Watonga Drive Bridge Bat Colony
4.6 (11)attraction
4.6 (11)At dusk, roughly 100,000 Mexican free-tailed bats emerge from beneath the bridge, taking flight along White Oak Bayou.
Description
Viewers gather on park benches or the grassy greenspace along the bayou to watch the flight follow the water before disappearing into the night. An information kiosk on the west side provides educational context on the colony. The emergence is also temperature-sensitive: the bats usually do not emerge when sunset temperatures hover near 50 degrees or below.
