Nocturnal by Nature Series with Deborah Perkins

Join wildlife ecologist Deborah Perkins for a three-part evening lecture and guided walk exploring some of Maine’s most fascinating nocturnal and crepuscular wildlife. Each session begins with a short indoor presentation, followed by a walk at Gilsland Farm to observe and listen for wildlife in real time.
The series will focus on fireflies, bats, and birds, highlighting their ecology, seasonal activity, and the habitats that support them. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of these species and how to better observe and support them in the landscape.

Nocturnal by Nature: Bats!

In the second of a three-part series, ecologist Deborah Perkins will shed light on the unique ecology, behavior, and habitat needs of these flying mammals — from feeding habits to maternity roosts, and more.
Although bat populations remain particularly vulnerable, you can offset their declines with a few simple practices in your own landscape.

How bats are uniquely equipped to live out their lives in darkness.
