If you've not yet seen the phenomenon that is the Waugh Street bats flying out at dusk near downtown Houston to go on their nightly hunt, now's a great time to do it. Houston Parks and Recreation Department in partnership with Lyondell Chemical Company have erected a "bat observation deck" at the corner of Waugh Drive and Allen Parkway.

There's more information on the Mexican Freetail bats and the deck on the City of Houston's "Bat Page". I also found this page from the Texas Master Naturalists/Waugh Bat Monitor.
