2009
Summer Bat Walks |
| |
|
| |
| Each
summer, we hold our popular Bat Walks at the San Joaquin Wildlife
Sanctuary in Irvine. Summer Bat walks are a special opportunity
for you to visit the sanctuary after hours as we search for
live flying bats feeding at the marsh. |
| |
| Each
program begins with an indoor presentation by Orange County's
bat expert, Stephanie Remington, who may bring a live rehabitated
bat for close-up viewing. Stephanie will talk about bat biology,
echolocation, myths, and what bats eat. |
| |
| We
then take a short twilight walk using sonar detectors
to locate the two species of bats that come in small numbers
to the marsh to feed from their roosts in nearby bridges and
buildings. |
| |
| The
2009 Summer Bat Walks will be held on Thursday and Friday
evenings from 7:00 to 8:45 p.m. (starting times may vary)
Bat Walks are scheduled for the following dates in 2009.
All bat walks for 2009 are now
full. If you wish to be put on a waiting list, please contact
