Today, I am writing about another very birdy place and an event that I was very fortunate to have experienced, the Champions of the Flyway Bird Race in Eilat, Israel.

Ruffs from Israel, the one in Costa Rica kind of looked like the top bird. Luck always plays a role for seeing these monster goshawks but so does looking for them in the right places. Mary and I were likewise successful with that memorable twitch, enjoying prolonged views of the pseudo yellowlegs in good light. Bird counts.

Looking for terns, White-eyed Gulls , and other seabirds from North Beach, Eilat, Israel during Champions of the Flyway.

And though there are plenty of places in the United States to enjoy migration (heck even right here in my state of Minnesota) I’ve been fortunate enough to take in migration in other areas. The bottom line is that migration can be enjoyed in so many places on this planet and Israel should be on your list to visit at some point.

I’ve just returned from a trip to Israel and I feel like I’ve run 300 miles in a week…in the blazing sun…uphill…with no water…and carrying a one hundred pound sandbag. The playing field for the race was limited to southern Israel. And I had it easy.
