AUBURN — The Stanton Bird Club is set to host the fifth in its 2024-25 lecture series, presenting “The Amazing Adaptations and Night Shift Work of Bats” with Jocelyn Hubbell from 4-6 p.m. Monday, April 7.
The talk will be held at Auburn Public Library, 49 Spring St.
Hubbell will talk about how bats’ nightly rounds benefit people, about their adaptations, which species live in Maine, and how to listen to and view bats safely, according to a news release from Jeri Maurer with the club.
An interpretive specialist with the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, Hubbell has worked in the field of environmental education as senior educator for the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Prospect Park Wildlife Center in Brooklyn, New York, for Maine Audubon as its Camps and Outreach Program manager, and as the first executive director of Cornerstones of Science. Her current duties include the production of color guides and maps, the monthly newsletter, a weekly Nature Note, grant writing, and the development of nature programs.
The public is welcome. The lecture series is free.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
