They did in older residential areas of Las Vegas. Nobody at the BBQ I was at warned me what would happen when the sun went down.

I can rotate them though. I figured out how to do that a while back and if you want me to try, I can probably correct your raw copy of the video. I'll be away from home for a couple of days, so I can help you out on the weekend if you like. :)<br /><br />The bats are very cool.

That was truly amazing! I wondered if these could be migrating as well. I've lived here 20 + years, seen a few bats most days, but never like this. That is why I speculated that they could have taken up in the empty building in that location. There is a cave at the end of my road as well.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-40208593698005618672009-08-27T06:43:33.893-05:002009-08-27T06:43:33.893-05:00Wow, what a phenom.
