Bats Flying Around Cave Intrance in New Mexico


Bat Flight from the natural Entrance Carlsbad Caverns National Par
New Mexico

During the Spring, Summer and until the arrival of cold weather in the Fall - each evening at sundown up to 3 million bats emerge from the Natural Entrance and forage over the countryside for insects - returning at dawn - truly a spectacular experience for visitors.  Most of the bats are of the harmless Mexican Free Tail species.
