Welcome the Returning Bats

Barbea Williams Performing Company performs a "Bat Dance" with students of Rio Vista Elementary School and special musical guests at 6 p.m., Saturday, May 19, in the Rillito riverbed east of the Campbell Avenue bridge; free. Bat expert Yar Petryszyn shares his expertise, and entomologist Carl Olson speaks about the insects bats eat. The program is timed to end as the bats fly out from under the bridge. Bring a flashlight, drinking water and a blanket to sit on. Access the site via the ramp located on the southeast side of the bridge.
