Description

Come and discover one of North America's greatest migratory corridors, from September 15 to 21, during the 15th Côte-Nord Migratory Bird Festival. The Tadoussac Bird Observatory offers the general public and ornithologist alike a unique and immersive experience in the world of ornithology, through a multitude of activities.

Assisted by experienced ornithologists, come and discover the region's exceptional bird diversity. The event takes place in the heart of one of Quebec's most beautiful regions, bordered to the west by the majestic Saguenay Fjord, to the south by the St. Lawrence River estuary and to the north by the immense boreal forest. This diversity of habitats enables us to observe over a hundred species of birds in surprisingly close proximity every year.

The Côte-Nord Migratory Bird Festival is based on a simple concept: to offer original ways for families, the curious, beginners and experienced birdwatchers to discover birds. Excursions at sea, interpretation based on the banding of little owls, guided outings on foot or by boat are all part of the program. Several artistic activities, lectures and documentaries are also planned.

From mid-September to the end of October, the 'Enchanted night with owls' will introduce you to a research project that began 30 years ago. Come and discover Quebec's smallest owls during an activity lasting close to two hours. Reservations required.
