AUBURN – A talk about the deer tick and Lyme disease in Maine will be presented Monday, March 3, at a meeting of the Stanton Bird Club. Charles Lubelczyk, a field biologist for the Maine Medical Center Vector-borne Disease lab, will focus on the natural history of the tick and the disease.

Lubelczyk, a Sanford resident, has worked on tick-related research since 1994. He graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in wildlife management.

His talk will also cover personal protection measures, tick control strategies and other public health concerns.

The Stanton meeting and Lubelczyk’s talk will take place at 7 p.m. at the Auburn Public Library, 49 Spring St. The meeting is open to the public.

The Stanton Bird Club is a conservation organization offering monthly free natural history programs and field trips throughout the state. The organization welcomes new members, whose dues help to provide land stewardship at three sanctuaries, owned and managed by the club, in Lewiston and Monmouth.
