Sat., June 1, Lower Table Rock Loop Trail, 8 p.m.
Look and listen for who comes out at night while hiking the Lower Table Rock Loop Trail (1/2-mile accessible trail) with BLM wildlife biologists Steve Godwin and Emma Busk. No guarantees but they will attempt to lure pygmy, great horned and screech owls as well as other creatures of the night. Learn fascinating information about bats and their importance as they fly overhead. Bring flashlights and wear good hiking shoes.
