Out of the Bat Cave into the night

Today marks day 197 of my 2025-365 Photography Challenge. Out near Davis, beneath the Freeway, countless bats emerge to search for food. I've never witnessed such a large number of bats before. What an incredible opportunity to capture this on camera! The odor under the Freeway was quite unpleasant. As the sun sets, you are treated to a spectacular aerial display as the bats depart from their daytime resting spots and fill the sky together.
