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 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. Come
discover first-hand that this fresh water wetland is a magical
place at dusk. |
