The Resounding Success of the Côte-Nord Migratory Bird Festival: BirdzNow at the Heart of the Action
The Côte-Nord Migratory Bird Festival, held in Tadoussac, once again proved that it is much more than just a gathering of enthusiasts: it is a true platform for awareness, discovery, and connection with nature. This year marked its 15th edition, offering a wide range of activities — from birding excursions and conferences to workshops, performances, and family-friendly events for all ages and levels.
A Festival Growing in Influence
Over the years, the Côte-Nord Migratory Bird Festival has become an unmissable meeting place for birdwatchers. Visitors sometimes travel from far away to enjoy the richness of its activities and the unique setting Tadoussac provides.
What makes the festival so special is its ability to combine science, education, and wonder. Its programming brings people closer to nature and migratory birds while emphasizing the importance of migration. This combination makes the festival one of Québec’s leading birding events and a powerful driver of environmental awareness.
BirdzNow in the Field: Sharing the Passion
This year, the BirdzNow team took an active role, not only by showcasing the brand but also by guiding birding excursions. We shared memorable moments: observing migratory species, exchanging knowledge, and experiencing the joy of spotting rare or unexpected birds together.
These outings, which were greatly appreciated, gave participants a true immersion in the world of birding, leaving them with lasting memories and a renewed enthusiasm to further explore the world of birds.
Tadoussac Bird Observatory: The Key to Success
The success of the festival rests above all on the outstanding work of the Tadoussac Bird Observatory (OOT). Their scientific expertise, warm welcome, and contagious passion make this event truly unique.
We would like to give special recognition to Alexandre Terrigeol, Director of the OOT, whose vision and coordination play a central role in the festival’s growth and continued success. Thanks to him and the entire OOT team, the festival attracts a larger and more devoted audience each year.
An Invitation to Return
The Côte-Nord Migratory Bird Festival is more than just a one-time event: it is an immersion in the rhythm of migration and an opportunity to feel the energy of seasonal change in one of Québec’s most remarkable regions.
For BirdzNow, it was a highlight of the year — a space for sharing, connecting, and celebrating. And one thing is certain: attending once makes you want to come back every year.
