Event details

Join us as we venture out on the trail at dusk listening for musical and mechanical insect sounds. Many insects become more active as the sun goes down. We’ll listen and learn the distinct sounds of common local species and find out why they make these sounds. 

This program is sponsored by the Thorn Creek Audubon Society.
