Southwest Wings: Summer Festival – FP1 Bats Field Trip

Join bat aficionado Karen Krebbs as we visit the semi-desert grassland to see agave food plants of bats up close. After sunset we’ll watch hummingbird feeders and/or agaves for Lesser Long-nosed Bats and Mexican Long-tongued Bats flying in for dinner. Attendees on this field trip will benefit from Karen’s free lecture on Friday 1:30 PM (not a necessity). Because this is a night trip (sunset is 7:17 pm) so bring a flashlight or headlamp (a red light is best). Bring your binoculars and a small chair or stool to increase your comfort. Hiking Difficulty: 2 easy. Guide Karen Krebbs. ​ Meeting place: Ramsey Canyon Preserve parking lot, at the top of Ramsey Canyon Road. Map link       Part of the Southwest Wings Summer Festival.
