Jaeger & Reid Perform at the Winters Opera House
2025-09-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Winters Opera House, 13 Main Street, Winters, C, 95694, United States
Judi Jaeger (Jay-ger) and Bob Reid found that perfect harmony standing next to each other at a music jam in 2015. Their musical spark quickly caught fire and was noticed by those around them – and the successful collaboration between Jaeger & Reid was born. Judi grew up near Montreal, Canada, where her world was filled with music; her mother and brother sang and played guitar and she listened to Leonard Cohen, Peter, Paul & Mary, Pete Seeger and many others. She began her career as a performing songwriter as an expression of her loss after the death of her mother and has written songs for her local domestic violence prevention organization. Bob is a fourth generation Californian, and like Judi, Bob also grew up surrounded by music. Bob’s Mom performed in coffeehouses in the 1960’s, while his father was a gospel concert promoter. His mom is best known now as having been the nation’s oldest National Park Service Ranger. Bob has been a California Arts Council Artist-in-the-Schools, performed at the United Nations in New York, in concert, at festivals and in schools across the United States. His original songs have been sung by Pete Seeger, Bill Harley, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer and many others. Bob was chosen by the Seeger family to perform at memorial concerts for both Pete and Toshi Seeger in New York. Bob has a keen eye for musicality, empowerment, appreciation of nature and social causes in his writing.

Bat Talk and Tour
2025-09-15 17:15 - 19:45, 2025-09-16 17:15 - 19:45 | Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, 45211 County Rd. 32B
Did you know that a huge colony of migratory bats live under the Yolo Causeway during the summer? Join Yolo Basin Foundation for a summertime Bat Talk and Tour to learn all about these amazing and beneficial mammals.
Following a presentation on bat natural history, where you will have the opportunity to see live ambassador bats up close, the group will carpool out to the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area in Davis for a brief tour of the wetlands and rice fields. Then we get in position to watch the “flyout” of the largest urban colony of Mexican free-tailed bats in California. The bats emerge in long ribbons as they head out to hunt for insects for the night.
The whole experience takes about two and a half hours. This is a family friendly event! There is a small amount of walking. Those in wheelchairs or unable to walk may view the bats by car. Please let us know if you have special needs.
Refunding or rescheduling tickets requires two weeks notice and is subject to a $10 administrative fee.
In regards to the recent heat: While it can be very hot in town during the heat of the day, the first hour and a half of this program will take place in an air conditioned room and from your own vehicle during the auto tour. By the time we are outside to view the flyout, it will be nearly sunset. It is typically 10-15 degrees cooler in the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area where we watch the bat flyout.

“I am grateful for the way Sarah holds safe space for sharing and inspires everyone to have fun with writing.”
“I felt like you set the bar high for how thoughtfully and carefully you approached each one of the pieces, especially when it came to concrete, creative ways of expanding on what was there. I felt pushed and inspired to think about not just what was already there, but what else could be there.”
