seen it many times, but this is a nice shot! Sometimes there are so many they seem like locusts.

Wow, really spectacular shot.

Killer shot. I'll have to try get one like that next time I'm under the bridge...

Amazing! When we were there it was too dark and impossible to capture the black bats against a black sky.
