Access to birdwatching site
Chemin de la Slouce crosses a variety of bird habitats.
If you wish to explore the many logging roads and trails
that enter the forest from the Chemin de la Slouce, you are
strongly advised to carry orientation gear (GPS, compass,
topographical maps, etc.).
The area
As Chemin de la Slouce is rarely used, it is possible for
birdwatchers to stop on the side without disrupting traffic.
The road takes you through a number of different environments
favourable to a variety of birds.
Birds to watch for
The vastness of the territory, its environmental diversity,
and its isolation, all provide the birder with an opportunity
to sight many, if not all, the species of forest birds of
southern Quebec. 17 species of Warblers have been sighted
here. Other interesting sightings : the Yellow-bellied Flycatcher,
the Yellow-throated Vireo, the Willow Flycatcher, the Sharp-shinned
Hawk and the Canada Warbler.
