Israel is a paradise for birds—and for those who love them. Its location at the crossroads of diverse geographical regions, combined with its role as a major migratory route, creates a remarkable variety of bird species throughout the year. The sight of thousands of migrating birds soaring over Israel inspires a profound sense of awe—both at the phenomenon itself and at the determination of each individual traveler. For anyone who has not yet experienced this extraordinary richness, I highly recommend grabbing a pair of binoculars and discovering it for yourself.
