This event will allow attendants to listen to foraging bat calls that are generally above the human's ability to hear. Using an ultrasonic microphone, we will eavesdrop on the secret world of bats and learn about the many facets of their biology that make them crucial to every ecosystem they inhabit. As bats are nocturnal, this is an evening event so we ask that you dress appropriately and carry a flashlight if possible.
