In the Atlantic Canadian province of New Brunswick, and especially in Sackville, the fall season is full of charm. Indeed, we can appreciate the amazing colourful leaves, the impressive half-naked trees, and especially fascinating singing birds getting ready for a LONG journey in which they fly south for the winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of note, about 300 migratory bird species leave us each year for warmer climates (https:\/\/shorturl.at\/juRTV<\/a>). However, despite the GREAT distances travelled, they remain loyal to Canada: billions of these migrating birds return home in the spring. How sweet it is to welcome their sounds again, see them in our\/their skies, and to know that they will be home again with all of us for a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, Bambi will share a few pictures she took last Friday evening as well as a brief video featuring some birds’ sounds. She will end with two songs. The first famous melody is entitled “Asfour<\/em>” [Bird<\/em> in Arabic]. This song is originally by Mr. Marcel Khalife; we can hear Ms. Aliya Cycon playing the oud (oriental guitar) and singing this lovely song: she starts with her own English translation and ends with the original Arabic. Bravo to her for this uniquely beautiful performance! As for the second song, subtitled in English and entitled “Deux oiseaux<\/em>” [Two Birds<\/em> in French], it is by the talented Ms. France Gall. Long live all birds. Good-bye to them… until next spring!<\/p>\n\n\n
