Bat Talk And Walk

Meet some misunderstood wildlife creatures through the Bat Talk and Walk at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area. Offered at various times, the wildlife area is at 45211 County Road 32 B, Davis. Each year, from June through September, the Yolo Basin Foundation offers “Bat Talk and Walk” tours. The tour begins with a 45-minute indoor presentation on bat natural history, after which attendees are shuttled to the outdoor viewing area to witness firsthand the spectacular aerial performance of the Mexican free-tailed bats. There are several dates scheduled and pre-registration is required at http://yolobasin.org. For more information, contact Corky Quirk at cquirk@yolobasin.org.
