While most of us are asleep, something incredible is happening overhead—millions of migratory birds are flying across Southeast Texas every single night on their journey north.

Texas plays a critical role in this migration, with roughly one out of every three birds passing through the state each spring. These birds are traveling thousands of miles across continents, relying on natural cues like moonlight and stars to guide them.

That’s where the Lights Out Texas program comes in. Bright city lights can confuse and disorient migrating birds, leading to dangerous collisions with buildings. By simply turning off or dimming nonessential outdoor lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. during peak migration season, residents and businesses can make a real difference.

It’s a small action—but one that helps protect millions of birds making an incredible journey right over our homes.

Car enthusiasts know a true gem when they see one—even if it’s buried under years of wear and tear.

That was the case when Texas collector Dennis Collins tracked down a rough 1960 Corvette Roadster right here in Baytown. The car, in need of serious restoration, was exactly the kind of project Collins is known for—bringing classic vehicles back from the brink.

What started as a worn-down find has now become a full-scale rescue, highlighting the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into restoring vintage cars. For collectors and gearheads alike, it’s a reminder that sometimes the most overlooked vehicles hold the most potential.

🎥 Watch the full video to see how it all began right here in Baytown—you might even recognize the neighborhood, the garage, and possibly the former owner who let this classic go.
