FARMINGTON – Western Maine Audubon Society is announcing its last two programs of the season. One is a presentation on nature photography and one is a warbler walk.

The field trip will be led by Peter Armstrong at 7 a.m. Saturday, May 17, along the railroad bed, the Whistle Stop trail in West Farmington. It will be held rain or shine. The program often turns up dozens of warblers as well as other migrants. For directions or more information, contact Steve Bien at 897-5215.

“Photography Gone Wild” will be presented by Jym St. Pierre at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 21, in the Roberts Center, room C-23, University of Maine at Farmington. The PowerPoint program will touch on the history of landscape photography in Maine and good places to take nature photos.

However, the majority of the illustrated talk will feature work by contemporary photographers, who are doing an array of landscape and wildlife photography in Maine.

St. Pierre is a Maine native with BA and MPS degrees from the University of Maine. His photos have appeared in dozens of publications. He has also won awards for his landscape and wildlife photography at the All Maine Photography Competitions, Maine Sportsman’s Show and New England Camera Council.

He has led photo workshops on the Maine coast and in the capital region. In 2005, one of St. Pierre’s photos was published as a poster for a statewide conference celebrating the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.

He was president of the Capital Area Camera Club from 2004 to 2006. He was also founding president of the Kennebec Land Trust, founding chairman of Citizens to Protect the Allagash and a founding director of the Maine League of Conservation Voters.

Since 1995, he has been Maine director of RESTORE: The North Woods, a regional conservation organization.

The programs are free and open to the public. For more information, contact Marge Blonder at 645-2445.
