Did you know that a huge colony of migratory bats live under the Yolo Causeway during the summer? Join Yolo Basin Foundation for a summertime Bat Talk and Tour to learn all about these amazing and beneficial mammals. Check online for dates and times. Tours sell out so plan ahead. The whole experience takes about three hours. This is a family friendly event! There is a small amount of walking. Those in wheelchairs or unable to walk may view the bats by car. Please let us know if you have special needs. Bat Talk and Tour events begin late-June and run through September. Following a presentation on bat natural history, where you will have the opportunity to see live ambassador bats up close, the group will carpool out to the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area for a brief tour of the wetlands and rice fields. Then we get in position to watch the “flyout” of the largest urban 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. The whole experience takes about two and a half hours. This is a family friendly event! There is a small amount of walking. Those in wheelchairs or unable to walk may view the bats by car. Please let us know if you have special needs. Refunding or rescheduling tickets requires two weeks notice and is subject to a $10 administrative fee. In regards to the recent heat: While it can be very hot in town during the heat of the day, the first hour and a half of this program will take place in an air conditioned room and from your own vehicle during the auto tour. By the time we are outside to view the flyout, it will be nearly sunset. It is typically 10-15 degrees cooler in the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area where we watch the bat flyout. |
