Installation of birdhouse for black swallow

Le Club des ornithologues de l'Outaouais has set up a nest box with multiple lodges near the Ottawa River at the end of Vanier Road. The swallow population is declining throughout Quebec. The objective of the club is to increase the territory of this species. We see from left to right, Daniel Toussaint, Rodolphe Dubois and Yves Denoncourt installing the nesting box.
