The Stanton Bird Club of Lewiston and Auburn will host the fourth of seven twice-monthly bird walks on Wednesday, Oct. 17. All walks are from 8 to 11 a.m., and are free and open to all. Leaders Stan and Joan DeOrsey ask participants to meet at 8 a.m. at the Promenade Mall parking lot, near Staples, 855 Lisbon St., Lewiston. All will travel to Jillson’s Farm, Sabattus, to see grassland and field resident birds. The leaders will identify and comment on birds seen and heard. Each walk is approximately two miles long, on an even and dry surface; bring binoculars and dress in layers. The walk will be held if it is drizzling, but if steady rain at 7 a.m. is projected to continue to 10 a.m., the walk is canceled. For more information, or to meet the group at the site, call 933-2266 or email jsmd@att.net. Pictured is a wild turkey, photo courtesy of Daniel J. Marquis.
