SECRET LIVES OF ANIMALS
The Bay Area Discovery Museum will uncover the hidden habitats and secret lives of forest animals – and answer such questions as how mother bats find their babies in a cave and where chipmunks sleep – at its new exhibit, "Animal Secrets," which opens Saturday.
The exhibit, designed for ages 3-8, allows visitors to explore five environments: the stream, the woods, the meadow, the cave and the naturalists' tent.
The museum (557 McReynolds Road, Sausalito) is open 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. Admission is $10 general, $8 seniors and children ages 1-17; free for ages younger than 1.
For more information: www.baykidsmuseum.org.
TIE THE FLY
California Fly Fishers Unlimited will hold a fly-tying demonstration before its meeting on conservation Tuesday at Camp Pollock (Boy Scout camp), 1501 Northgate Blvd., Sacramento.
Ken Geisser will share his tying techniques at 6:15 p.m. That will be followed by a program by Mark Rockwell, conservation vice president for the Northern California Council, Federation of Fly Fishers, who will discuss Northern California's fishery and water conservation issues around the Bay-Delta and the Klamath River restoration.

WATERFOWL PROGRAM
The Yolo Basin Foundation will kick off its Flyway Nights Speaker Series at 7 p.m. next Thursday, featuring Shaun Oldenburger, wildlife biologist in the waterfowl program of the California Department of Fish and Game.
The talk ($5) will be held at the Department of Fish and Game's Yolo Wildlife Area Headquarters, 45211 Chiles Road, Davis.
For more information: www.yolobasin.org.
A LOOK AHEAD
The Middle Mountain Foundation's 2010 Sutter Buttes calendar is a page-turner.
It shows off the Buttes' terrain in a collection of 13 color pictures taken by area photographers, and it benefits the Middle Mountain Foundation.
You can purchase the calendar ($13) from the MMF site at www.middlemountain.org.
