In the city of Victoriaville in Quebec, an annual phenomenon continues to the delight of bird lovers. Every year at the Beaudet Reservoir, hundreds of thousands of snow geese come to rest during their migration period.

It is a unique phenomenon because this basin is located in the middle of the city. This gives us the opportunity to come and see them very easily.
