| Birdwatching Trip to Isle-aux-Grues |
|
On Isle-aux-Grues, there are no natural predators for the birds present on the island apart from the domestic cat population. This affords those birds species that nest on the ground increased security. The abundance of different habitats explains why over 210 different species have been observed on the island. With an ORNITOUR's guide, criss-cross your way along the mudflats, while comfortably seated in our panoramic vehicle, which are home to the Greater Snow Geese during migration. In addition to learning about the history and customs of the island, with a little bit of luck, you’ll observe certain interesting birds like the Bobolink, the Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow or the Short-eared Owl.
This package includes:
• A narrated cruise of the archipelago
• An historical and cultural tour of the island with an ORNITOUR's guide
• Transportation onboard a panoramic vehicle
• Binoculars
• Listening to the yellow rail at night on the mudflats between Isle-aux-Grues and Île-aux-Oies
• Early morning birdwatching tour * Taxes, food and lodging are not included.

| Discover the B-12 Snowmobile Experience, in Cap-Saint-Ignace |
| Onboard a B-12 snowmobile, one of the first all-terrain vehicles for communal transportation, and designed at the end of the 1940's by Armand Bombardier, Ornitour offers you a guided ride through the heart of the beautiful Chaudière-Appalaches region. Expand your understanding on several subjects including the forest, the history of the area, biology and the various bird habitats. |  |  | A stop along the way at a charming little shelter in the woods, alive with chirping birds, for an outdoor picnic will put you in direct contact with some of the species living in the area. Who knows, maybe a chickadee will eat right out of your hand!
