We will try to attend the Thursday evening outing, but if it is full, the Friday should work just fine. For an additional fee, you can join the ODWC astronomers after the Bat Watch for an evening under the stars. Of course during daylight hours we’ll be birding, and during the heat of the day we can visit the Alabaster Caverns to cool off. Want to come along for the fun? As the OK Dept. of Wildlife Conservation requires advance registration (and advance payment: $10/adult & $5/ youth under 12), sign up at the ODWC website www.wildlifedepartment.com/05Batabout.htm.
