These are not bats, grackles, or starlings. They are a favorite bird of many people, Purple Martins. Once the breeding season ends the birds begin forming big night roosts like this in preparation for their south-bound migratory flight. This roost will be near Highland Mall until mid or late August.

Wow! I'd seen the bats but this is amazing too! Thanks

@gotch09 i think one of the greatest misconceptions people have on austin is that they think it will measure up to a major city. and the way people describe it, it sounds like it is a "world class" city, but it's far from it. austin is an overgrown town. and what makes it special is the people, your friends, the vibe, easy living, night life and good food. there's so much in so little. you won't learn to appreciate it unless you have good friends.

@aoiahiru Yeah, well I wasn't born here and didn't move here till the early 90's. I've told my children that if I kick the bucket while I'm living in Austin, please,please cremate me and carry my ass to the state line and pour me out. I may be stuck here in this lifetime, but I DO NOT want to spend my eternity here./ They can go north, south, east or west. My opinion of Texas in general, and Austin in particular is that negative.

@pboisei Why all the negativity? Because this town ain't all it's cracked up to be. And I hate this loser town. And of all the wrong choices I've made-moving here was a mistake of epic proportions that I'll always regret. If I wasn't living here, the ground could open up and Austin could slide on it. And I would give a damn. Yes, I am that bitter. Austin sucks hind tit.

@aoiahiru Thank God I wasn't born here. I moved here. Let's just say I've been underwhelmed by the experience. If I have to spend so much time yelling about how cool I am, the way Austin does, maybe I'm not so cool after all.

I visited Austin in May 2011 and absolutely loved it! I will be back. Love the live music, warm weather and lively atmosphere. Had the best steak ever in my life at Austin Land & Cattle!

@aoiahiru I admit it's probably just me. But I've just been really underwhelmed by Austin. Its over-hyped and over priced. It's just not all it was cracked up to be=to me.

@atxag2010 Usually they say it's the people who make a city worth visiting, but I guess in your case, the people are about as underwhelming as the city.

@pboisei Coming out of the gate, it's lady. After 20 years I've given this town ample time to change my mind. Now I'm just too old and poor.
