Tadoussac Bird Observatory

Research and education projects aim to assess bird population's health using scientific protocols. From its unique northern vantage point, Tadoussac Bird Observatory (TBO) is able to gather key data on more than a hundred boreal and arctic indicator species, as well as species more commonly observed in eastern North America.
