Night-owl Walk – the Crepuscular Preserve

Sat. Sept 8, 6:00 – 8:30 p.m.

The shadowy time between night and day is another world. We’ll visit an 1800’s historic gravesite, listen to night sounds and watch for bats and owls on this two and a half hour easy hike with naturalist Brian Swanson. Wear sturdy shoes, bring field glasses and a flashlight, and be prepared for a cool evening. Meet at the west end of Canyonside Park Driveway, 1 block west of Black Mtn. Rd. at the Preserve sign at the beginning of the white ranch house fence. 12350 Black Mtn. Rd., San Diego.
