Counting Great Egrets at Deschênes Rapids

 

August 10. Wednesdays of the Great Egret at Deschênes Rapids is a proposition of the Club des ornithologues de l’Outaouais (COO).  This weekly outing is to observe and number Great Egrets as they return for the night in their heronry and dormitory (on Conroy Island) in Deschênes Rapids. We’ll be at the belvedere along the cycling path. Your expert Rodolphe, with your help, will ensure to miss nothing about what’s going on. The rapids at sunset, these elegant white wading birds and the other birds on the move will give an impressive show for sure. An activity for all.

Rendez-vous: 6 pm at Rapides Deschênes parking (south end of Vanier Road in Aylmer). We’ll stay until around 9:30. Your guide: Rodolphe Dubois (819-685-9159). For detailed information about our activities (mostly open to everyone), contact the COO on our website www.coo.qc.ca.
