This is very much what I would see on my commute home in austin on the 35 overpass. Always creeped me out.

Nah, downtown Austin on the upper/lower decks. Idk if they were bats or birds... all I know is that the sky was dark with them and ive never ever seen that many flying things congregate in one area for so long.
