I live about a block from Waugh Bridge (mentioned in the article). It is not unusual to have 10 or 15 neighborhood locals stationed at the bridge at dusk to see the bats as they leave for the evening. During the warmer months, when bayou insects are thriving, it's not unusual for me to see them flying around when taking the dogs for their evening walk. From what I understand, during our last freeze (the infamous freeze that knocked out the power grid here in Texas), there was almost a full colony collapse. Glad to hear that this time someone was thinking about them.

I used to run around Buffalo Bayou when I lived in Montrose. I love that area of Houston, it has some of the best food in the world within a 5-minute drive from there. The bats were super cool too, glad to see they survived the freeze (even if a ton of vegetation definitely didn't).

  Lived around Buffalo Bayou off Washington between Shepherd and Waugh just as gentrification was getting started (04). After seeing the bat sign on the bridge, I always kept my distance.
