Palestine is located in the center of the only land bridge between Africa, Europe and Asia. It is not surprising that birdwatching is quickly becoming a popular outdoor activity in many countries of the world today.
Birds come in many sizes, shapes and colors.
They are ubiquitous life forms and so birdwatching may be practiced almost anywhere. Birding usually involves other recreational sports such as hiking, preferably camping and even traveling to different places or countries to enjoy the thrill of observing birds in their natural habitats. This thrill is enhanced by correctly identifying and getting familiar with as many birds as possible with the help of field guides available for almost every country. In a sense, birdwatching is a modified form of hunting, with the same thrill and success factors, but with different tools and attitude. Birding tools are simple and inexpensive.
