Clouds and Bats

We saw some interesting clouds this afternoon. In the hills it blew up with thunderstorms but nothing in Uvalde.

The yellow streak in the photo below is a dust devil as it is being sucked into the cloud.


At sunset we visited a bat cave near Uvalde. It was spooky when the swallows circling overhead the cave all of a sudden withdrew and tens of thousands of bats flew out in several waves. It looked like something out of a Hitchcock movie. There were some kestrels and hawks waiting for the bats to emerge. I saw a hawk ridge soar right into the cloud of bats and grab one. Quite the experience!
