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.
