Winter tracking will be the focus of the Stanton Bird Club’s next meeting, scheduled for Monday, Feb. 5, at the Auburn Public Library, 49 Spring St.

The talk will be held from 4-6 p.m.

Ben Nugent, district supervisor for U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services in Maine, will be the guest speaker.

Nugent grew up in Vermont and graduated from the University of Vermont. Prior to working with the USDA Wildlife Services, he worked for Hodges Outfitters in Alaska, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the Institute for Wildlife Studies in California. He will share pictures and examples from the wildlife in the local area. In addition, he will share a rare and special winter wildlife experience he had in Thorncrag in 2011, according to a news release from Jeri Maurer with the club.

The public is welcome. The lecture series is free of charge. With the rise in respiratory cases in Androscoggin County, club members encourage participants to wear masks.
