The Stanton Bird Club is pleased to continue our Guided Bird Walks in the Lewiston / Auburn area. All walks are free and open to everyone, beginning naturalist to advanced birder. Walks are led by Stan & Joan DeOrsey, Gordon Smith, and Dana Little who identify and comment on birds seen and heard.
Anyone interested in walking, seeing new places, fresh air, and nature is welcomed. Walks are held in a variety of interesting and diverse local habitats, plus some areas less often visited.

Meeting Locations, as noted above, meet at the walk location. Reservations are not required.
All walks start at 8AM at the walk location. Walks end by 11AM, but you may leave early.
Walks will be held even if it is drizzling, but if there is a steady rain at 7AM and projected to
continue past 9AM, the walk is canceled.
Walks are approximately 2 miles on a generally even and basically dry surface.
Ticks are always a concern, tick gaiters, socks over pants, or high boots can work well.
Bring binoculars and dress for the weather, layers work very well.
