Summer Bat Walks
June 16, 2006
| 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 take a twilight
walk in search of 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. |
