EZEKIEL 29:1-12-put russia-arab-muslims in place of egypt-their judgements here.
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.
4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
5 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
ISAIAH 9:11-14
11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
ISAIAH 30:28-30
28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury,(OF MY ANGER) because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I (GOD) will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say,(RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS) I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan,(SAUDI-ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(SPAIN) with all the young lions thereof,(ENGLAND,AND ALL ITS ASSOCIATES-CANADA,AUSTRALIA-NEW ZEALAND, USA, AND WESTERN ENGLISH SPEAKING NATIONS) shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS FLESH)

1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the sixth part of thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS I BELIEVE) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)

14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)(EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN THE JORDAN VALLEY)

18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye (MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL) shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.(RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS)
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I (GOD-JESUS) will set my glory among the heathen,(WORLD NATIONS) and all the heathen (WORLD NATIONS) shall see my judgment that I have executed,(AGAINST ISRAELS ENEMIES) and my (GODS) hand that I have laid upon them.(ISRAELS HATER ENEMIES)
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Unique Birdwatching in Israel-Enjoy the sounds of thousands birds singing in unison in Israel's city of Eilat
Best time: March–May | September–December
Twice
a year in the period between March to May and September to November,
the city of Eilat turns into one of the biggest birdwatching spots of
the world. The birds of all colours and species cross the Israel's land
on their way to warmer countries. The best place to observe their
migration is Hula Valley National Park. Wake up early in the morning not
to miss any single sound of nature. Each month you may watch different
species of birds, however, birdwatching in October is special with a
vast amount of White Pelicans, Common Cranes and flocks of Eagles.
November is more of a transition month when most frequently you may
watch birds of prey. If you plan a journey for December, you are very
likely to see such species as Great White Egrets, Great Cormorants,
Black Storks and Black-headed Gulls. So get a pair of binoculars and get
ready for your birdwatching adventure.
Israel is situated on a
corridor along one of the world’s most important and busiest migration
flyways. Twice a year, more than 500 million birds from 550 species fly
over Israel. The entire continent of North America, which is 1,000 times
Israel’s size, sees barely twice as many species.In the autumn Between
late August and mid-December hundreds of Millions of birds leave their
nesting grounds in Europe and Asia, and cross Israel on their way to the
wintering grounds in Africa. Israel is their last “fueling” spot before
their 5-day journey crossing the Sahara Desert.
Birding month
by month-Israel is THE place for birding - all year round-Israel is well
known as being one of the best places in the world to witness and truly
experience bird migration. Millions of migrants from hundreds of
species pass through Israel twice a year, making it one of the world's
busiest and most impressive flyways. Besides being a terrestrial bridge
between the African continent and the Eurasian landmass, Israel is
characterized by a wide range of habitats and as a result presents a
rich diverse avifauna all year round.Southern Israel is mostly arid and
its interesting deserts are the northern tip of the breeding range of
many African and near eastern bird species.Northern Israel with its high
mountains and fertile green areas is the southern tip for many birds of
European and Asian origin. Mt. Hermon in Israel's extreme north is the
tip of the vast Syrian mountain range and as such hosts some regional
specialties that are hard to find anywhere else.And finally Israel's
mild winter hosts over 150 species of northern breeders, that choose to
pass the winter months here, including some very rare and hard to come
by species.In conclusion, Israel offers excellent birding year round
with every season hosting its own specialties.We are happy to present a
mini calendar of avian events and special targets month by month, to
help you best time your visit.Year round.Israel hosts a wide range of
interesting breeding and non breeding resident species. Common birds
like Yellow-vented Bulbul, Palestine Sunbird, Laughing Dove, Hoopoe and
Syrian Woodpecker can be found in metropolitan areas year round. Highly
coveted near-eastern species like Black francolin, Long-billed Pipit,
Syrian Serin, Graceful Prinia and Clamorous Reed Warbler are easy to
find most of the year in the right habitats. Israel's diverse desert
regions are home to regional specialties like: Macqueen's Bustard,
Spotted, Black-bellied, Crowned and Lichtenstein's Sandgrouse, Western
Reef Heron, White-eyed Gull, Nubian Nightjar, the enigmatic Hume's Tawny
Owl, Namaqua Dove, 3 species of Wheatears, Blackstart, Streaked Scrub
Warbler, Desert, bar-tailed and Hoopoe Larks, Arabian Warbler, Desert
and Trumpeter finch and many more. Most of these species can all be
found year round if you know where to go.We are happy to present you
with a month to month elaborate overview of the birds and birding
highlights Israel has to offer. This is not a checklist but rather a
taster of what visiting birders should expect. I have chosen to focus on
the most interesting migration spectacles and most interesting species
to observe. Besides the regular monthly attractions we have also chosen
to highlight specific specialty species or species of high interest to
visiting birders. We hope you find this useful in preparation for an
Israel trip, or for general knowledge about Israel’s magical Avifauna.
January
Being
the peak month for wintering birds most birders focus on Israel's
fertile north. The Hula valley is well known for the 30,000 Common
Cranes and large numbers of White Pelicans that winter there. Besides
these, the valleys fish ponds and fields host thousands of wintering
water birds and songbirds and dozens of birds of prey. Species like Long
legged Buzzard, Great Spotted and E. Imperial Eagles are seen daily and
in recent year's ever growing numbers of Stonechats from the eastern
forms winter in the valley.The coastal area of Ma'agan Michael is also
very rich this time of year and amongst the thousands of Gulls, Herons,
Waders and more one should easily find Citrine Wagtail, Penduline Tit
and Pallas's Gull. The latter is most easily seen in the low lying Beit
Shean Valley where up to 1200 of these rare gulls winter.Although
Northern Israel is impressive, January is one of the best times to visit
the Western Negev region. Eastern Imperial Eagles are common along the
Urim power line as are Peregrine Falcons. Rarer species like Saker,
Lanner, Sociable Plover, Dotterel, and Pin-tailed Sandgrouse can all be
found in the vast fields of the Negev, but require searching. The higher
reaches of the Negev occasionally host good numbers of wintering Syrian
Serins.Israel's desert Wadis are home to wintering Sinai Rosefinch,
Cyprus and Desert Warblers and several Striated Scops Owls winter in
remote wadis with Acacia trees, in the extreme south of the country. The
Eilat area is interesting as well and although quite rare one should
expect Oriental Skylark, Buff-bellied and Richard's Pipits in
agricultural areas as well as good numbers of Wheatears and wintering
Larks.Although we are still in mid-winter there are already spring
migrants on the move this early, including Great Spotted Cuckoo, Tawny
Pipit and more.
February
Early February is very similar to
January with the Hula Valley and western Negev still providing the most
exciting Birdwatching in the country. Around the 10th spring migration
slowly kicks into gear. Swifts and Swallows of several species can be
seen hawking for early insects and early migrants like Quail, Black
eared Wheatear, Great Spotted Cuckoo and small numbers of Steppe Eagles
can be seen, especially in the southern and Eastern Valleys. February is
probably the best month to see Pallid Harrier in Israel, especially in
the fields of the West Negev. Steppe Eagles are very early migrants and
on the move in good numbers in February. Several hundred Steppe Eagles
can be seen migrating over the Eilat Mountains. The first flocks of
Steppe Buzzards, White and Black Storks show up around the 20th.
Breeding raptors like Egyptian Vulture and Lanner show up at their
breeding territories and Sinai Rose finches can be vocal and easy to
see. February is one of the best months to watch the desert queen the
Macqueen’s Bustard. These magnificent birds display during the month and
gatherings of 6-7 males are not rare. Nizzana is excellent for
observing large numbers of White Storks, including huge days of
thousands of birds towards the end of the month.
March
Considered
by many as the best month for birding in Israel, March marks the
arrival of a large variety of migrants, returning breeders and a long
list of vagrants. Southern Israel is the place to be with warm sunny
days full of birds. The Eilat Mountains offer a great chance to watch
and photograph Steppe Eagles, Steppe Buzzards, Black Kites and Black
Storks. The pools and reservoirs fill with returning waders and every
bush, pool and green area becomes a migrant magnet. Sylvia Warblers are
prominent with large numbers of Greater and Lesser Whitethroat, Blackcap
and Sardinian Warblers. Rueppell’s, Eastern Orphean and Subalpine
Warblers can be found with some searching. The flowering desert shrubs
host large numbers of Chiffchaffs and Balkan Warblers. The agricultural
areas attract large numbers of Yellow Wagtails, Pipits of several
species, Cretzschmar's and Ortolan Buntings and Northern, Isabelline and
Eastern Black-eared Wheatears. Migrant Shrikes like Masked, Red backed
and Woodchat Shrike can be found perching on every available bush. The
skies fill with Hirundines and birds of prey. Resident specialties are
easy to observe in March and normally shy birds like Namaqua Dove,
Temminck’s and Bar-tailed Larks, Sandgrouse of several species,
White-crowned, Hooded and Mourning Wheatear and a multitude of Larks are
fairly easy to catch up with. During March Israel’s breeding summer
visitors’ return to their territories and this is a wonderful time to
observe Bee-eaters, Swifts, Short-toed Eagles and Lesser Kestrels in
suitable habitats. The list of rarities and vagrants that have turned up
in March is very long, regular annual rarities include Citrine
Wagtails, Caspian Plover, Cyprus Pied and Pied Wheatear and many more.
The
third week of March is the International Eilat Birds Festival. This
highly successful event is a true drawing stone for birders from all
over the world and has contributed much to putting Eilat and southern
Israel back on the international birding calendar, and in a big way.
April
Spring
migration is in full swing in April and the volume of migration in
southern Israel and Eilat can be overwhelming. A large variety of
Passerines, Shorebirds and birds of prey move through the Great Rift
Valley on their way back to the breeding grounds. Besides the species
mentioned in March visitors can expect uncommon species like
Blue-cheecked Bee-eaters, Ficedula Flycatchers and quality April
rarities like White-tailed Plover, Black-bush Robin or White-throated
Robin. The fields and pools host thousands of returning shorebirds and
this is a good time to find a Terek or Broad-billed Sandpiper amongst
the thousands of Little Stints, Ruff, Marsh Sandpipers and more. Up to 8
races of Yellow-wagtails can be found in moist habitats and Lesser Grey
and Red backed Shrikes, Rock Thrush, Quail and Corncrake and all 3
Crake species turn up. The last week of April begins one of the spring’s
most exciting periods for raptor lovers. Levant Sparrowhawks peak in
late April and flocks of 2-3 thousand can be seen daily. Another species
that peaks now and into May is the Honey Buzzard, whose whole world
population passes through Southern Israel in around 20 days! Day counts
of over 100,000 Honey Buzzards have been recorded every year in the last
days of April.
May
The first half of the month is one of the
most impressive periods of the spring migration.The first week is
characterized by huge soaring bird migration over Southern Israel. Huge
passage of Honey Buzzards and Levant Sparrowhawks, with smaller numbers
of Montague’s Harriers, Booted and Short-toed Eagles, Black Kites and
more. The pools and wetland areas host large numbers of shorebirds
including rare species like Broad-billed Sandpipers and Phalaropes.
Another remarkable feature is the peak passage of White-winged Terns. Up
to 20,000 of these elegant seabirds can be seen coming of the sea and
rest in the salt pans. Late migrants like the large Hippolais Warblers,
Barred and Garden Warblers, Roller, Rosy Starling and more can turn up
anywhere. Central and northern Israel fill with bird song as the
breeding season kicks into gear. The Northern Valleys fill with the
strange calls of Black Francolins and classic Mediterranean species such
as: Eurasian Bee-eater, Sardinian Warbler, Roller, Smyrna Kingfisher,
Hoopoe, Barn and Red-rumped Swallow, Lesser Kestrel, Rufous Bush Chat
and Eastern Black-eared Wheatears can be found with ease. Specialties
like Ferruginous Duck, Marbled Teal and Pygmy Cormorant can be found at
known sites and the enigmatic Sooty Falcons return to their breeding
cliffs in the south.
June
June is usually a fairly quiet
month offering long days of steady birding. The bay of Eilat heats up
with the end of the Red-Sea breeding season and the North Beach offers
visitors with hours of great sea watching. Amongst the large numbers of
Common and Little Terns, rare terns like Lesser-crested, White-cheeked
and Bridled Tern can be seen in double figures and all three Skuas make
an appearance. Rarities like Crested, Saunders’s and Sooty Tern and
Red-billed Tropicbird have all turned up in June. The cliffs of the
Judean Desert host breeding Sooty Falcons and specialties like Sinai
Rosefinch and Striolated Bunting can be seen at drinking spots. This is
the best period to visit the High reaches of the Golan Heights and Mt
Hermon. Around 20 species breed nowhere else in the country and quality
species like Eastern Rock Nuthatch, Sombre Tit, Crimson Winged Finch and
Syrian Serin can all be found with ease. The Golan holds Israel’s
highest density of breeding Long-legged Buzzard, Short-toed Eagle and
Eagle Owls.Summer offers some unique chances for urban birding. Common
Swifts are common breeders in Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem, every
afternoon the city fills with the calls of Swifts as they zoom through
the building at high speeds.Long-eared Owls are common breeders and can
be found in many villages and small towns in central and northern
Israel, the calls of the pleading Owl fledglings are hard not to hear.
July
Even
in high summer Israel offers visitors with ample options for birding.
The coastal areas hold good numbers of Common and Little Terns that
gather at protected nesting colonies. Small numbers of michaellis
Yellow-legged gulls breed on isolated islands off the Med coast. The
Judean Plains host large numbers of Short-toed Eagles that gather at
agricultural areas to feed on voles and snakes. The area also holds
small numbers of breeding Lesser Kestrels, Roller, Woodchat and
Red-backed Shrikes and Rufous Bush chats.The Golan Heights offers great
chances to study scarce breeders such as Black-headed Bunting, Calandra
Lark and Long-billed Pipits. Fall migration starts as a trickle and
small numbers of early waders like Green Sandpiper show up at wetlands,
and Acacia wadis in the south can host Upcher’s and Olive-tree Warblers
already migrating south.
August
Despite the fact that August
is the warmest month in Israel, it is the month that marks the beginning
of fall migration. From mid-month impressive flocks of White Storks can
be seen moving south and what begins as a trickle of Honey Buzzards
becomes an all on flood of birds towards the last days of the month.
Days of 50-60 thousand Honey Buzzards are annual during the last week of
August. Besides soaring birds good numbers of migrants show up from
mid-august onwards and migrant hotspots along the rift valley host water
fowl and passerines of many species.Most of Israel’s breeding birds are
done with their cycles and this is a good time to observe many near
eastern specialties busily feeding young.
September
An
impressive month for migration, September offers visitors a wide and
varies list of species and some memorable migration spectacles. A large
percentage of the world populations of scarce raptors like Levant
Sparrowhawk and Lesser Spotted Eagle pss through Israel in short periods
of time. Over 80,000 Lesser Spots are counted every year and over
50,000 Levants. With these impressive waves one can expect around 15
species of soaring birds including Harriers, Short-toed and Booted
Eagles and large numbers of Black Kites and Black Storks. Several
wintering species show up as early as this including the first
Bluethroats, White Wagtails and more. The open fields and plains host
large flocks of Passerines including Yellow Wagtails, Pipits, Wheatears
and Shrikes.
October
October is one of the best months for
birding in Israel. The weather is excellent and migration is evident
everywhere. The first week is very good for soaring birds with
impressive flocks of White Pelicans, Common Cranes, Black Storks and
Eagles and the wetland fill with wintering water fowl.Migration in
October has a distinct “Asian” flavor and migrants from Siberia and
western Asia set the tone. This is a good time to find regular rarities
like Black-winged Pratincole, Sociable and Pacific Plover and Isabelline
type Shrikes. Wintering Eagles such as Greater Spotted and Eastern
Imperial arrive at their wintering grounds. Fish ponds and wetlands
along the Mediterranean Coast fill up with thousands of Gulls, Herons,
Waders and ducks.
November
November is a month of transition,
as the last migrants trickle through Israel moving south and wintering
species establish themselves on winter territories. Suddenly every bush
in Israel hosts a Stonechat and every field teems with White Wagtails
and Eurasian Skylarks. This is a great month to visit the Negev for a
true spectacle of birds of Prey (see January) and shy desert species
like Sandgrouse and Larks roam the desert and can be found with
patience. November marks the arrival of some more highly coveted
winterers like Pallas’s Gulls, Buff-bellied Pipit and Oriental
Skylark.November is probably the month that holds the longet list of
extreme rarities found over the years. Several “firsts” for Israel were
found in November and birding at remote sites in the south can produce
incredible birds.Finally November is the month of the International Hula
Valley Bird Festival. We highly recommend the festival that offers a
wide selection of birding tours and activities led by the best tour
leaders in the country.
December
Israel's winter is relatively
mild with temperatures rarely dropping close to 0 besides in the
extreme north of the country. December is usually a fairly dry month
with occasional rain events, mainly in the north. Wintering species
establish their wintering territories and good numbers of Great White
Egrets, Great Cormorants, White Pelicans, Black Storks and Black headed
Gulls can be seen near bodies of Water and wintering Eagles like Great
Spotted and E. Imperial arrive in the Hula and in the Western Negev. The
bulk of the 30,000 or so Common Cranes wintering in the Hula valley
arrive in early December and large flocks of seed eaters form in the
Galilee and the Golan Heights.In the south, Cyprus and Asian Desert
Warblers aggressively hold winter territories and Fincsh's Wheatears can
be found in good numbers in suitable habitats.December marks the
arrival of the globally endangered White-headed Duck to Israel, up to
20% of the world population if this beautiful duck winters in Israel,
especially in the reservoirs of the Judean Plains.
Why the
old-school horror of The Birds speaks to 21st-century anxieties-'There's
something open enough that it can meet the moment of crisis that you're
in,' says academic Lynn Kozak-Lisa Godfrey · Posted: Sep 06, 2023 5:35
PM EDT | Last Updated: February 19-Theatrical poster for the film The
Birds (1963)
"Humans are being wiped out by birds, but what have
humans done to the birds to make them function in this way?"Catherine
Wynne is not talking about the latest conspiracy theory. A specialist in
Gothic literature at the University of Hull, she is reflecting on a
1952 short story: The Birds, by Daphne du Maurier.Like the Alfred
Hitchcock movie thriller that it inspired, du Maurier's apocalyptic tale
of mass bird attacks contains echoes of both ancient and contemporary
anxieties.In this 60th anniversary year of the film, IDEAS looked into
how this narrative around avian violence against humanity took flight —
and how it retains its unlikely power.Birds as a war metaphor-"What
interference has led to the birds becoming militaristic, to the birds
attacking, to the birds, acting out of nature?"Daphne du Maurier's tale
sees common birds unite to relentlessly divebomb, maim, and kill humans.
Wynne says it's significant to note that du Maurier wrote The Birds in
the years following the Second World War.Aerial bombardment had been a
wartime reality in the novelist's native England. But in Japan, death
from above was of another magnitude: the unprecedented horror of atomic
bombs detonated in two cities, by the United States.Wynne says The Birds
is haunted by "the legacy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, how that changed
the world. And [how] we're not going back from that point." The
aftermath of the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, by the Americans
at the end of the Second World War.The central figure in du Maurier's
version is Ned Hockin, a war veteran turned farmhand. His insight into
both war, and nature, permits his family to become the last survivors in
their bird-obliterated community in rural Cornwall. Yet there are hints
in the story that the bird attacks are worldwide, and
unstoppable."Daphne du Maurier obviously was writing within her time.
It's infused with all this imagery of war, ideas of siege," said
Wynne.Birds as a psychological metaphor-Alfred Hitchcock took quite a
different approach."The Birds is a Freudian three-ring circus."So says
College of Charleston historian and horror scholar Scott Poole, speaking
of the cinematic adaptation of the du Maurier story, released in 1963.
If du Maurier looked outward at the fragile state of the post-war world,
Hitchcock "took things in a psychosexual direction," said Poole.British
film director Alfred Hitchcock during the shooting of his movie "The
Birds." He is wearing a black suit with black tie and white shirt. He
has a crow on one shoulder and upper arm and seagull on the other.The
Hollywood director set the story in a coastal California town in the
early 1960s. There, adventurous socialite Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren)
pursues a handsome stranger. She is thwarted, at first by Mitch's
jealous mother, and then by an invasion of inexplicably murderous
birds.Birds as female rage-Still, the town's women turn on Melanie,
blaming her for bringing chaos."It's almost as if [the birds] are a
concrete expression of her desire for Mitch, her desire for
independence, possibly her anger at a [male] world that is marginalizing
her," said Poole.But this potentially feminist reading is halted, he
notes, after the point in the film where Melanie is viciously attacked
by the birds. With parallels to alleged offscreen behaviour by her
director, Hedren's Melanie is stripped of her agency and her voice.
American actress, animal rights activist and fashion model Tippi Hedren,
UK, 23rd August 1963.She becomes a stock figure."The female character
in every horror movie that was made before John Carpenter's Halloween,"
said Poole-Birds as female desire-Lynn Kozak, who uses the pronoun they,
researches horror and tragedy in ancient literature and contemporary
media at McGill University. They suggest another path.Kozak believes
viewers are free to read different meanings into The Birds.Owl attacks 6
people at Killarney Provincial Park-Despite Hitchcock's visual control,
they see subversive potential in what remains a female-centred
story.For instance, the dependent relationship that evolves between
Melanie and Mitch's mother might ultimately prove healthy for both. And
the friendship between Melanie and Mitch's ex-girlfriend is more richly
portrayed than that of Melanie and Mitch.Sixty years on, viewers can
say, "I am the audience, and I have power in terms of how I receive this
text," said Kozak.Birds, ancient and modern-In both the movie and the
story, the motivation for the bird attacks remain a mystery.Poole agrees
with film critic Robin Wood, who wrote of the birds that "they are a
concrete embodiment of the arbitrary and unpredictable." A montage of
the book cover for The Apple Tree and a black and white image of Daphne
du Maurier from the 1930s.Contemporary horror director Jordan Peele has
lauded The Birds as the ultimate siege movie, and Poole says that
audiences today might feel parallels with "their experience of a global
pandemic, their fears and anxieties about the world."Kozak sees
parallels between the fatalistic horror of the narrative and perennially
relevant Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex."There's something unsettling and
open enough that it can meet the moment of crisis that you're in."For
Wynne, the original du Maurier story is both of its time, and chillingly
prescient about our own.In detailing an apocalyptic vision of the
natural world, "what she's describing with the birds is what we are
living through environmentally today. There are changes in nature. The
birds are not attacking us. The birds themselves are being obliterated
by us."Guests in this episode:Lynn Kozak is an associate professor in
