||| FROM SAM GAILEY for ORCAS ISLAND LIBRARY |||
Please join the Orcas Island Public Library for a fascinating conversation, Island Bat Ecology — a presentation by Russel Barsh, Kwiáht Director. The gathering will be on Friday, July 28, at 1 p.m.*
Bats are a key biological control of insect populations, in particular night-flyers such as mosquitoes and moths that impact human health, orchards and field crops. Nine species of bats have been reported in the islands, but their distribution and status were unknown until Kwiáht began systematic surveys in 2010.

I’ve looked at Kwiaht’s website and at the library calendar, and can’t seem to find when this is happening. I might just be blind or dense. Does anyone know?
Tomorrow, Friday 21 July, 1-3 pm
Sorry, the library website posted that it was today.
Cannot find the info ?
The event is on July 28th at 1pm.
Darn; missed it. Called the library but no one was on the phones, then I forgot. does anyone know if this got recorded? I really wanted to hear and see this presentation.
