Bat Walk

 2-August-2024
On Sunday-28- July, Mr. Joseph D’Angeli from The Wildlife Conservation and Education Center returned held another Bat Walk in Ridgefield Park. This took place in the parking lot at the base of Brinkerhoff St. Over 40 people gathered to learn more about bats. This included Families with young children, couples and others wanting for a chance to see bats fly around. As the attendees waited for Sunset, Mr. D’Angeli  talked about the types of bats in New Jersey and their importance to the environment. These include the Little, and Big Brown Bat, Northern Long-eared Bat, and the Indiana Bat, which is a State and Federal endangered species. He and some assistants carried listening devises that could detect a bats echolocation call.
 As the evening grew darker the devises registered a number of signals of bat calls. Mr. D’Angeli   led the group to the small glade just off the parking lot. Very soon a trio of bats flew over to begin their evening hunt. Some stayed above the treetops as other swooped down to gather food. The watchers  move to the walking trail heading to Emerson St. With the canopy of trees much closer more bats could be seen and heard flying by.
 As night continued to fall everyone return to the starting point to talk about what they had just experience. As feeding time for the bats, it was still early, and they kept flying around. With the openness of the small meadow, and the parking lot, more bats could be seen in the sky.
