Thumbs up Bats under the Lake Mira Mar bridge!

Arrived from Cape Cod, my wife and I Rented a villa for the month of July to narrow down our choices of home style and location in the Villages for purchase July 2017. I kayaked lake Deaton, Lake Miona, and one day found the bats @ Lake Mira Mar in Spanish Springs. Under each one of the three arches over the lake, inside the seams in the prestressed concrete, reside hundreds of Bats! You can hear them very clearly as you pass under each arch. This is same type of habitat where the bats roost in Austin Texas under the Congress Street Bridge over Lady Bird Lake, but on a much smaller scale. People gather in Austin nightly to watch the bats take flight at sunset! Always nice to find something new in the Villages. Looking forward to next year!
