The Côte-Nord Migratory Bird Festival
The Côte-Nord Migratory Bird Festival has been created in 2009 thanks to the team at the Tadoussac Bird Observatory. Its goal? To introduce the ornithological wealth of our magnificent region in the fall. Indeed, during this season, the north shore of the St. Lawrence becomes a major migration corridor. It is one of the most important in the North-East of North America. It is therefore a key period for bird watching on the Côte-Nord, Haute-Côte-Nord MRC being the region with the greatest diversity of species in Quebec, according to eBird.
You can observe between 110 and 130 species of birds in less than 24 hours, including several rare boreal species!
