The “Meeting of the Minds” series of lectures continues at Orcas Senior Center. This season, in partnership with The Friends of Moran, we will continue a series of presentations about our island home. Our next presentation about bats with Kwiaht’s Russel Barsh will be at 1 p.m. on Jan. 15.

Learn about the eight species of bats on Orcas Island, their habits and how they help us manage pesky insects, from mosquitoes and midges to the moths and beetles that kill trees and wreck orchards.
