From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baie-du-Febvre, Quebec is a community (2006 Population 1,063) in Nicolet-Yamaska Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada. Quebec route 132 goes through it.
Baie-du-Febvre, located on the southern shore of Lac Saint-Pierre (a UNESCO biosphere reserve), is well known as a haven for migrating snow geese. Many birdwatching enthusiasts congregate there in spring and fall to observe them. The town takes great pride in this aspect of its natural heritage, and has established an interpretation centre to teach visitors about the geese, their migration and the local biosphere. Apart from a protected area close to the river[1], Limited hunting of snow geese is permitted.
