Meet at the western trailhead to Woodard bay that is right on the bay to begin the walk up the road to the bat viewing location. Meet at 7:30 p.m. Discover Pass required!
We will walk as a group up a wide, closed off road, use binoculars to view the huge cormorant colony and then sit on the shore as the bats emerge about 9:06. We will watch them until about 9:30 and then walk back in the dark to the parking area.
