Set in the middle of the Saint Lawrence River, Parc Jean Drapeau is regarded as an outstanding place for birdwatching. For pure pleasure, many amateur birdwatchers travel around the Parc to identify and list the various bird species and take photos of them.
All year long visitors are invited to watch the diverse types of birds at the Parc by going along the many walking paths on Notre-Dame and Sainte-Hélène islands.

To make it easier for birdwatching, the Parc will be putting up feeders in the wooded areas near the Aquatic Complex, near the Pavillon de la Tunisie and at the end of parking P5 during the winter of 2021. You'll be able to observe chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers and many other species of birds. This activity is being done with the collaboration of the birdwatching organization l'association québécoise d'ornithologie QuébecOiseaux.
