ECAF Roving Talk: Bats of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (Night Walk)

Did you know that at least 14 bat species make their home on the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument? Bats navigate and find food with their very loud “shouts.” Each type of bat has its own special shout, which, despite being very loud, is not heard by humans. However, we can use special microphones to hear the bats and then identify each bat by the sound it makes.

Join GSEP’s Executive Director, Dr. Jackie Grant to learn about the variety of bats in the area and maybe even record some as they fly overhead to look for their insect dinners.
