Experience Mitchell Lake Audubon Center after dark and discover how water-saving landscapes and native plants support wildlife around the clock. Learn how conserving water and restoring native habitats creates healthier ecosystems for migratory birds, bats, and other nocturnal animals. Explore our trails with an experienced guide and see how native plants provide essential food and shelter after sunset—including how you can garden for bats at home by planting native species that attract the insects they depend on. As dusk settles in, listen for coyotes, observe nighttime pollinators, and use our echolocation meter to hear bats navigating the dark skies above.
