Israel is a truly incredible place for birds and birding. Half a billion
birds pass through Israel twice a year, making it the second largest
migratory flyway in the world. Over 540 species of birds have been recorded
in Israel, a country the size of New Jersey. From the snow-covered peak of
Mount Hermon in the north, through the low-lying Dead Sea Valley and south
to the granite peaks of the Eilat Mountains, Israel boasts an avifauna that
is second only to the tropics. Join distinguished birders from the Society
for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) Dan Alon, Noam Weiss,
Jonathan Meyrav, and Amir Balaban as they discuss birding, the miracle of
migration, and work being done to protect and provide for birds in Israel.
This series has been made possible by the support of Claude and Lucienne
Bloch.
