I think the bats are year round...just at night on the Capitol Bridge.

Nope. There are times of the year when they are gone. Trust me. That's when I try and shoot them. :rolleyes::rolleyes::D

LOL, good deal then Robert.

Permie....I have had 4-5 bites from facebook in the last few days...actually have several meet-n-greets set up for next week for seniors....it may be that the hours of sitting on there adding people are paying off!

We did see the bats. Our hotel room was about 200 yards from the bridge. It is seriously stinky when they come out. And 5 million is a lot of bats.

The capital building is really nice. You can easily spend a few hours exploring. Plus there are about 10 beautiful churches within walking distance.

I'm not sure if they hibernate or if they migrate but they are not there during winter.

The SX110IS is kind of a marginal camera at best...especially since it is the new choice of pros and semi-pros.

Now that's a cool shot. Is that from the hotel window?

Not a clue. Zoo perhaps if you can't get to a coast.
