Austin, Texas has the world’s largest urban bat population and they are very proud of it. This plaque is in the Austin airport commemorating the unique bat habitat that can be found under the Congress Ave. Bridge. I have been to Austin three times and have not been to see the bats. Bonnie and I will eventually go there just to see and photograph this incredible example of how habitat for wild creatures can co-exist with city infrastructure and in this special case, become a celebrated way to identify with a city.
