Our migration activities start 30 minutes before sunrise and end 6 hours later, every day from April 18 to June 1 and from August 1 to November 6. Our Norther Saw-whet Owl monitoring takes place at night, from late September to early November. Considering the time of our activities, it's important to be able to get to the observatory by car or bike by yourself, as public transport is very limited at these time of the day. We're located near the Morgan Arboretum in Sainte-Anne-De-Bellevue.

Transport *

I've read and understood that I'll need to arrange my own transport to get to the observatory before sunrise if I want to get involved in the field.
