Thank you to everyone who attended Stalking Twlight last night at Clark County Wetlands Park. The program included a full moon walk to discover nocturnal wildlife, a bat station with scientific equipment used to hear and identify bats, and a celestial station with binoculars and a telescope for viewing the partial lunar eclipse. It ended up being an active night for wildlife with sightings of bullfrogs, owls, cottontail rabbits, bats, nighthalks and other animals in the Park.
