Access to birdwatching site
Municipal water reservoir. Two principle observation points:
Le Parc du Vieux Moulin (the old mill) where there are picnic
tables and the Saint Martin Church parking lot.
The area
Well-maintained public access points on the edge of the
reservoir provide a view of a large part of the water. Tour
the site by canoe or small boat and imagine yourself on the
Amazon as you glide under the giant willows that lean out
from the shore.
Birds to watch for
A fine place to watch shorebirds: Osprey and Great Egret.
In autumn there is an impressive migration of Canada and
Snow Geese that stop here in September and October. A good
spot to see shorebirds during their migration.
