Bats After Dark

Description

There's so much more to bats than their spooky reputation! Search the evening sky through fields and forests as bats emerge to hunt. Learn about their behavior, habitat, and life cycle, and find out the roles they play in the ecosystem—even pollinating some plants.

While we walk, track their movements using Wildlife Acoustics' Echo Meter technology, which picks up ultrasonic calls your ears can't detect. You'll leave with an electronic copy of the evening's audio recording, a keepsake from your bat adventure and a record of exactly who was flying overhead.

Checking registration status.
