The Talk
The Talk portion of the event is via Zoom. After registering for a Walk date, guests can choose from a variety of dates for a 45-minute live-virtual presentation that features some of our local bat species. You will learn about bats and their role in the environment and meet live bats via a webcam. To fully appreciate the evening flyout of the bats, we strongly encourage you to watch the Talk before joining us for the Walk. If you are interested in the Talk only, please email us.
The Walk
For the “Walk”, registered guests will meet at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area Headquarters, check-in while remaining in their cars, then travel as a group out to the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area to watch the “flyout” of the largest colony of Mexican free-tailed bats in California. The bats emerge in long ribbons as they head out to hunt for insects for the night. To get to the viewing site, the group will caravan through wetlands and rice fields to an area not open to the public.
