Our annual evening bat walk in Central Park, led by Danielle Gustafson, was featured in the July 26, 2024 edition of the West Side Rag, a local paper covering the goings-on of the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Danielle, a board member of Bat Conservation International, has been leading these popular walks for many years. Participants use electronic bat detectors to hear the bats’ ultrasonic vocalizations and are mesmerized by the sight of bats swooping through the evening sky in pursuit of insects. The article, by Bonnie Eissner, includes photographs by LSNY members Bruce Yolton and Barbara Saunders and quotes from member Savannah Conheady.
