Ein Afek West Galilee Birding Center

Birding Centers

The uniqueness of Ein Afek Nature Reserve is the diversity of wetland habitats therein - Streams, rivers, permanent and seasonal springs, natural pools, winter puddles and flooded land.

These attract many birds to the wetlands and the surrounding area.

Ein Afek Nature Reserve serves as an important nesting site for species such as the Dwarf Cormorant, Brown Ibis, Little Egret, Cattle Egret, Night Heron and even several pairs of Heron.

They all nest together in a vibrant and happy nesting colony, among the salt cedar thicket in the northern part of the reserve. During the winter, the bustling birds at Ein Afek are active all day long.

The reserve is an important resting place for big and for pygmy Cormorants, Cattle Egret and Ibis, filling the sky in the evening, just as Night Herons begin their activity.
