The first early spring migrants arrive in the wadis of the Dead Sea in February and the local birds are starting the breeding season. We will visit a couple wadis along the northern Dead Sea and explore some of the fields of Kibbutz Kalia and nearby area. With the winter rains, the wadis should be in bloom and we will also search for the butterflies they attract. Highlights include Cyprus warbler, Arabian Babbler, Fan tailed Raven, Tristams starling, Sand partridge and more.
