Zany Story Of The Day: Cuero Bat Guano

By Vince Leibowitz  on Sep 19, 2006 in Humor      

It may not be as amusing as the dead pigeon story of last week, but evidently bats are causing some problems in Cuero:

When the South Texas sun bakes the downtown Cuero area, take a good deep breath.

Not so pleasant? Blame bat guano.

Thousands of the winged creatures live in downtown Cuero buildings, and have for several years. Each night at dusk there is a rush of wings and a chorus of squeaks as the bats pour out of the downtown buildings to feast on insects in the night air. Most of them exit from cracks in the rear of buildings that face the 100 block of Main Street. The bats rush out dozens at a time, group after group for 30 minutes or more, filling the dimming sky with black whirling dervishes, zigging and zagging in search of an airborne meal.
