[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 766205, member: 26505"] [USER=13196]@hark[/USER] Yes, the time is correct. We got to the bridge around 7:30 and waited until the first scouts came out. The sun was just behind the mountains. My initial capture was an iPhone movie that is time-stamped at 7:49, which right after they started emerging en masse. Sunset is about 7:45.

We have bats in my neighborhood, and they start flying at about sunset. So, if you are looking you need to be out a little before sunset.
