| The
Stanton Bird Club
was founded in 1919 and named in honor of Dr. Jonathan Y. Stanton, a professor
at Bates College in Lewiston. Over the years, a number of parcels of land were
donated to the Club. These donations eventually grew to encompass 357 acres, known
as the Thorncrag Nature Sanctuary,
in the heart of Lewiston, Maine's second largest city.
The Club also owns and manages the 160 acre Woodbury Bird
Sanctuary in Monmouth. The
Club is made up of people from a wide range of ages and backgrounds, but they
all share a love of nature in general, and birds in particular. Today there are
some 300 club members, including about 8Junior
Naturalists. A Board of Directors oversees the Club's finances and
activities, both of which have grown tremendously in the last decade.
Although
almost all of the Stanton Bird Club's activities are free of charge, membership
is encouraged because dues helps finance stewardship programs at Thorncrag and
educational programs of the Junior Naturalists, as well as help fund and the Club's
two other sanctuaries. Anyone interested in membership can request
a membership brochure.
|
| Regular
meetings are held on the first Monday of the month from November through May,
starting at 7:00 pm at the Auburn Public Library at the corner of Spring and Court
Streets. Visitors are always welcome and the meetings are free and open to the
public. | |
The
Stanton Bird Club offers numerous field trips throughout the year to a variety
of local hot spots in the Lewiston-Auburn area, as well as state-wide and even
to the coast of New Hampshire and  Massachusetts.
All trips are led by experienced birders.
We hope you'll
join us in the field. Be
sure to check back on the field trip page to see the results of each outing, along
with any photos from the trip!
