Thank you for posting about the Juanita Bay bats-;it's been 12 years since I lived a 5-minute walk away from the Juanita Bay Park and used to love standing quietly at the north end of the old road causeway of an evening, while they swooped and fluttered overhead to within a few feet. Brings pleasure and relief to hear that bats are still in that area, to be enjoyed, marveled at, appreciated, and, as you thoughtfully pointed out, respected.
