Description

Les oiseaux des rapides de Lachine... Les rapides de Lachine s'étendent sur une dizaine de kilomètres sur la rive sud de l'île de Montréal et résultent d'un dénivellement de 12 mètres du fleuve Saint-Laurent entre le lac Saint-Louis et le bassin de La Prairie. Plusieurs îles et îlots, abritant une avifaune très diversifiée, baignent dans les rapides. Les rapides sont par conséquent un important site d'observation dans la région de Montréal. Les rapides ne gèlent pas en hiver et on peut y observer des oiseaux à l'année longue à partir de différents parcs riverains situés à Montréal et aussi à partir du Parc des Écluses à Sainte-Catherine sur la rive sud du fleuve. Birds of the Lachine Rapids The Lachine rapids cover a distance of about 10 km along the south shore of the island of Montreal, resulting from a 12 meters slope in the St. Lawrence River between Lake Saint-Louis and the La Prairie Basin. Several islands in the rapids are home of a diversified avifauna. The rapids are then an important birdwatching site in the Montreal region. They do not freeze in winter and it is possible to see birds any time through the year from different parks on the shore of Montreal and also from the seaway locks at Sainte-Catherine on the south shore of the river.
