JoEllen Arnold led another batty gathering on May 12. After an informal presentation about bats in the Sutter’s Landing parking lot & new gateway to the Parkway, we went down to the river to meet the bat ambassadors she brought and listen for bats with fancy echolocating equipment. The high point of the evening was when JoEllen released a recovered Mexican free-tailed bat to the wild. Thank you, JoEllen!!!
