We would like to invite Austinites to join MTBC and international artist and scientist VLM aboard the Capital Cruises!
All RSVPs for this event have been reserved.
Thanks to Merlin's life-long and continued dedication, Austin has become a world leader in demonstrating that bats make invaluable and safe neighbors and the bats are now a staple of Austin's culture. Merlin will tell stories and personally answer your bat questions. The MTBC team will also be on board to bat-chat with you.
Joined by VLM, an multimedia artist and scientist specializing in luna moths, who will share about the relation between luna moths and bats, how both species co-evolved and contribute to healthy central Texas ecosystem. She will provide live interpretive art as well.
Whether you've seen them a hundred times or never before, these bats are spectacular! However, they are wild animals and their behavior is weather-dependent. There's always a chance for a less-than-perfect viewing experience, but we will enjoy spending time together no matter what.
Bats are Austin's favorite neighbors - thanks to Merlin!
