From the Vault: Bat Houses

Now that the home computer is up and running, I'm writing and queueing posts again. Those will start to go live this week. Thanks to everyone who's been so encouraging about wanting to read more.

Meanwhile, here's a post that seems most appropriate for this time of year: a piece from last summer about bats, their importance to our ecology, and what you can do to help these dear -- and, yes, slightly scary -- creatures. I wonder what we of the bat persuasion should call ourselves? Batters? Batty?

After this piece originally appeared, I heard from a number of people who pledged their support -- either ongoing, or anew -- to these important links in our shared ecological system. One of my favorites was from a friend of mine who keeps a lovely urban rooftop garden that includes a bat house. So here's a shout-out to Jason -- and an invitation to share some pictures!
