Expert to discuss rare bats Thursday at Jackson County (Alabama) cave
July 11, 2006
Area residents will have a chance Thursday to learn about the endangered bats at the home of the largest roosting colony of the bats east of the Mississippi.
Keith Hudson, a state wildlife biologist, will talk about the bats at Sauta Cave, near mile marker 132 on U.S. 72 west of Scottsboro, at 7 p.m.
About 250,000 bats emerge from the cave about 30 minutes before dark. Participants should wear sturdy shoes and a poncho with hood and bring a flashlight.
The Land Trust of Huntsville and North Alabama arranged the presentation. For more information, call The Land Trust at 256-534-5263 or visit www.landtrust-hsv.org
