Go Batty in September!
September 10, 2011
Come watch nectar-eating bats gorge at hummingbird feeders as they prepare to migrate south. Using infrared lights, watch the bats attack the feeders after dark! Dr. Ronnie Sidner from the University of Arizona will share her vast knowledge of bats to enliven and enrich your experience. Join us on Saturday, September 10th at 6:15pm in Nogales, AZ at Linda Pfister’s house for this spectacular event. Bring a RED light to enhance your viewing (white lights will scare the bats away).
Registration is $25 for Tucson Audubon members, $45 for nonmembers.
Registration is free for one child (age 10-15) per adult. To sign up call 629-0510 x 7012 or email
