Due to potential inclement weather, this program has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 30 at 8 pm. Please meet at the Museum's 77th Street entrance.

At dusk, bats leave the warm spaces under city roofs to feed on flying insects. Join Brad Klein, Danielle Gustafson, and other members of the New York City Bat Group for a walk through Central Park. Aided by a detector that amplifies the bats’ otherwise inaudible high-frequency chirps, bat-watchers monitor and catalog the species that call New York City home.

Meet at the Museum entrance on 77th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue. Enrollment is limited. Please register no later than one week in advance. Rain date is Saturday, July 30.
