the old bat tunnel

Monday evening, the boys and I joined a group of homeschoolers to see the bats of the Old Tunnel Wildlife Management Area. Astro A hiked down the trail with our group to get a closer look, while little o and I watched from the viewing area above the tunnel. We learned lots of interesting facts from the staff guides and really enjoyed the view of the bats emerging. We plan to go back again in September when the bat population is at its highest.
