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 Helen Nicolas at
