We found what we thought was the right place, a cinder cone with collapsed lava tubes full of guano, but no bats. Then around dusk while we drank beer and grilled burgers a bunch of Swainson's gathered overhead just in time to start picking off their dinner as a river of Mexican free tailed bats poured out of the ground nearby, fun days...<br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
