LEWISTON – Winter ducks will be the focus of interest for participants in a field trip sponsored by the Stanton Bird Club on Saturday, March 21. The destination will be Winslow Park in Freeport.

The group will carpool from the Promenade Mall parking lot in front of Staples, leaving at 8 a.m. and returning around 1 p.m.

The birds the group has seen on similar trips include wintering ducks such as loons, eiders, mergansers, buffleheads and common goldeneyes. With luck, a barrow’s goldeneye may be sighted.

Stanton field trips are free. All experience levels and nonmembers are welcome. For more information, contact trip leader Linda Seamans at [email protected] or 240-1380.

The next club field trip will be on Friday, April 17, to look for woodcocks performing their evening “mating dance.” The destination will be determined by the sightings of the week. For more information, visit the Stanton Bird Club Web site at www.stantonbirdclub.org.
