During the summer months in Tucson, thousands of Mexican Free-tail bats migrate up from Mexico and establish a presence under bridges in town, one of the more prominent spots is the Pantano Wash Bridge on Tucson's east side. Every evening at sunset, they can be seen as a swirling dark cloud before going out to feed. It has become a natural phenomenon for residents and visitors to experience.
Durante los meses de verano en Tucson, miles de murciélagos rabudos mexicanos emigran desde México para establecer su presencia debajo de algunos puentes del pueblo. Durante cada atardecer, se puede ver una nube oscura arremolinada antes de salir a alimentarse. Se ha convertido en un fenómeno natural para residentes y visitantes.
