Snow geese in Baie-du-Febvre

Every spring, some 500,000 snow geese, Canada geese and ducks make a stopover in Baie-du-Febvre, Quebec on their migratory journey. Accordingly, every spring, I like to visit the Centre-du-Quebec region and show the birds my support!

Located just 140 kilometres northeast of Montreal, south of the mighty St. Lawrence, Baie-du-Febvre and the wetlands of St-Pierre Lake provide a natural haven for these magnificent birds as they travel from their winter homes in the Eastern United States. In fact, St-Pierre Lake has been named a UNESCO biosphere reserve.

When the birds take flight, it’s a mad cacaphony of sound and light that you’ll never forget.

For more details – and to watch videos! – visit a special Web page on the Bonjour Quebec site.
