Every year, we welcome researchers, volunteers, and students to take part in our migratory bird monitoring projects and public outreach activities. Each year, our work reaches thousands of people, we collect ten of thousands of data points on migratory birds, which are then shared with our collaborators, and we strive to analyze our data as thoroughly as possible to take concrete action for the conservation of bird species. Since its founding, the Tadoussac Bird Observatory has contributed to nearly 50 scientific articles.
