Bats, Bats all over me...

Did anyone see the radar...?
Those were frkkn bats causing that green patch around SAT.

Ok.
Why do they corkscrew formation fly?

Because cork is a hot female bat.

Do people not realize the magnitude of bat
it takes to show up on a weather radar?

Maybe they all were named Ray.

Apparently, they fly in formation like that because it scares the birds away.

And I thank you Ms. Gator.
If anyone has seen phenomena it begs the question.

Really quite interesting, the radar and the reason why they spiral.

For the record the radar pic came up for me on the first post.

Is this unusual or does it re-occur every year?

I have seen bats come out of caves before but never thought it could be read on radar.

It happens here every so often if they all come out at roughly the same time.
Sometimes they trickle out and it does not show up. But this is a huge colony of bats. Much much larger than the one at Carlsbad. In fact in may be the largest in North America.
