Bird Protectection Quebec Field Trip

Saturday October 22 - samedi 22 octobre

Granby, CENTRE D'INTERPRETATION DE LA NATURE DU LAC-BOIVIN


This Saturday's spontaneous destination field trip will be held at the CENTRE D'INTERPRETATION DE LA NATURE DU LAC-BOIVIN, in Granby, Quebec. This is a great spot to visit, particularly at this time of the year with the changing leaves.

This is a walking trip, with extensive trails throughout the park and an observation tower overlooking Lac Boivin. The park offers a variety of habitats including the lake itself, wooded trails and areas of open fields and brushy areas. There should be a good selection of species, including migrating songbirds, ducks, geese and, hopefully, a few surprises. Bring along some bird seed as the chickadees, white-breasted and red-breasted nuthatches are very friendly here and always looking to feed from the hands of the visitors!

8:00 AM Meet in the CINLB parking lot, 700 rue Drummond, Granby, Quebec J2H 0K6
