Hundreds of bats have been rescued by Austin Bat Refuge since a record-setting February freeze left some of the critters trapped in ice, injured, stunned by the cold or dead. Lee Mackenzie and Dianne Odegard, a married couple who run Austin Bat Refuge, have picked up as many as about 600 bats, dead and alive, every day since Monday from multiple Central Texas bridges. "It's just horrific," Mackenzie said. Mackenzie and Odegard are working to rehydrate surviving bats and feed them before releasing them back to their roosts under the bridges. "It's amazing to see how many of them are responding to food and rehydration and looking like they might actually be good bats and ready to release," Odegard said.
