Israel, which was thought to be barren, turned out to be the "Garden of Eden" for birds.

Don't think that only during the migration season can you see so many birds, there are still many "indigenous peoples" in the desert of Israel, and their little days are also full of taste.

Birds that live in an area all year round, do not migrate with the seasons, and can be seen all year round are collectively called resident birds. The most common is the sparrow, but the Israeli sparrow English Spanish Sparrow, Chinese called black-breasted sparrow, is a rare bird in Xinjiang, here is a typical "rookie".

There are also many resident birds in the waterbird family, such as the Bone Top Chicken (Common Coot), the Black Water Chicken (Common Moorhen), and the Common Cormorant, which are highly adaptable "dominant bird species", and can basically be seen where there is water and reeds.

On the north shore of the Red Sea coast, the local Rock Heron (Western Reef Egret) is much more generous than the exotic Yellow Pond Heron, and people do not care at all, unlike the Yellow Pond Heron, which often hides in the shade. Pied Kingfisher and White-throated Kingfisher are also regular visitors here, and tourists bask in the sun by the sea, and they are busy catching fish and not interfering with each other.

I don't know when the original migratory flamingo became a permanent resident of Eilat, and beautiful shadows appeared in the ponds around the city, living next to humans and living in harmony.

More resident birds are typical "desert dwellers", including seven species of larks, four species of wheatear, and five species of sand chickens. However, unexpectedly, the beautiful Little Green Bee-eater and the North African orange-clustered Nectar (Palestine Sunbird) are also among them, although the latter's color is much more colorful than the previous "indigenous", but it does not prevent them from adapting well to the local environment.

Tristram's Starling is easily considered a Common Blackbird, but the former has a much higher taste and pollen is their favorite delicacy.

The White-spectacled Bulbul, like members of its extended family elsewhere, belongs to the local majority, standing tall on the branches.

The migratory bird I saw in Xinjiang, the European-Goldfinch, has also "settled" in Israel. When I met it, it was falling in a green wheat field, climbing on the ears of wheat, swaying with the wind, and the red forehead was striking and bright.

The song of the European Greenfinch echoes through the woods, and I stand under the tree listening, watching it sing anxiously and looking around, is it looking for a partner?

The Syrian Woodpecker, the only local woodpecker, feels lonely, toiling alone in the woods.

The English name of laughing dove is Lauughing, but it doesn't look funny, on the contrary, it is also very "ladylike", with a unique blue-gray wing spot, also known as the "blue-shouldered dove". The first time I saw it, it is said that it is only occasional in Xinjiang in China, and it is everywhere here.

These birds have added life to the desolation of Israel, and how many mysteries do we not know are hidden in this mysterious land?
