OT: Why would bats swarm in the morning?...

That\'s what bats look like when coming out of their caves. Like smoke
rings. I discovered that when using \"WeatherScope\" many years ago,
emailed the developers and they explained the phenomenon. I have
occasionally noticed the bats for the last 10-15 years using the radar
software. Software still works, but they are no longer developing it.

This is weird. Yesterday morning I noticed the bats near Houston. A huge
swarm came out after 8 in the morning. I\'m no expert, but I\'ve never
seen them swarm in the morning, only in early evening.

The ring is usually not that well defined. Seems they avoided Houston,
but otherwise it\'s a relatively nice circle.

The ring is an artifact of how ground-based radars work. The radar is
at the center of the circle. The bats are at sufficient altitude to
be above the radar horizon at the radar site, These plots to not show
that bats avoid Houston.

Huh? If you\'re saying those are not bats, you are plainly wrong.
Refer to the first link that I posted. It\'s a common phenomenon in
that area of the United States. The signs are obvious to anybody
who is familiar with it.

You can find discussion about that phenomenon all over the Internet,
including plenty of other video uploads on YouTube.

The uncommon thing AFAIK is that a particular group of bats is
coming out in the a.m. They did again this morning at about the same
time.

I did not say that they are not bats, only that seeing a ring tells
one more about how radars work than how animals behave.

Perhaps a bout of flatulence (not good in a cave I imagine)
Maybe a fitness drive ?

I did a quick Google search on the subject of bats taking off in the
morning in general and found nothing. I suppose searching for that
particular phenomenon in that location will produce results. Surely
everybody in the field knows what\'s happening there, since it
appears to be a common occurrence there (at least two mornings in a
row).

Then again, maybe not...
I\'m finding nothing.

Yeah but they are known to come out in the early evening, not
morning. Do they stay out long enough to feed properly? I
guess they\'ll start coming out in early evening again once the rain
stops. Why wouldn\'t they come out at midnight if it\'s due to
the heat?

This morning, they came out at least two hours earlier, at about
sunrise. Them bats are confused. Of course they are coming out for
insects, but I doubt they know insects are out and about at this time.
They shouldn\'t start hunting in the morning. Might be from the group
that ditched Houston\'s bat-ridden bridge when hurricane Harvey hit
Houston. Maybe they are stricken with coronavirus. The bad luck bats.

The origin appears to be west/southwest of Houston in northwest Sugar
Land, on S Texas 6 between Alt 90 and IH 69. There appear to be some
bridges/overpasses there going over some water.

Someday, if we survive long enough, our ancestors will be able to zoom
in and see what is happening in real time at that location. Maybe even
see what was happening years earlier

By the way...

I have a RadarScope configuration file that might work for anybody
in the world. Save your little brain from the steep learning curve.
You might have to work at opening the thing, but should be easy as
any other file type opening. After the program is installed and then
you open the configuration file, wait for a few radars to load and
then click on... Map > Play.

Let me know if that works.
