Review of the Birds of Isreal
12 May 1999
Format:Hardcover
This is the only major work available in english on the subject. It describes in detail the migration, breeding, habitat distribution and much more of all species recorded in Israel. It is not however a identification guide, but I have found the distribution info most usefull as a aid to ID.

Helped me find 30 new species!
16 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
I used this book on a recent trip to Israel and Jordan. I was not on an "official" birding trip, but by keeping this pocket size book and my binos in my backpack, I was able to ID 30 new species. Photos are clear; descriptions good. Don't miss the Jerusalem Bird Observatory near the Knesset and the ponds at Magan Mikael (both near tourist sites and good, quick birder detours). I was working on completing Excuse #10 (Because I want to know that bird's name) and Excuse #6 (because I'm a wanderer) from my own book, 40 Excuses to Get Together with the Girls and it really helped.
