Four different species of bats observed in our neighborhood’s Bat Walk & Talk

The four species of bats observed were:

Canyon bat (Pipistrellus hesperus) – photo attached

If you would like to help support these wonderful critters…

• Plant Tucson Basin native pollinator- and other insect-attracting plants

and

• Reduce or eliminate light pollution

A cool tool for tracking bats with your phone (its what we used on the Walk & Talk):
Echo Meter Touch 2

Thanks to Kathy Gerst (formerly with Bat Conservation International) for leading the walk and talk,
and the 20+ neighbors and friends that came out for the event!

What other such tours would you be interested in?

A few we are thinking of:

Firefly, native bee, and pollinator walk & talk with the Xereces Society
