Half Billion Birds Flock to Galilee Migration Paradise

[AFP] Jacques Pinto - Around half a billion birds flee the European winter and pass through the Hula Valley in northern Israel's Upper Galilee. At this time of year, more than 400 known bird species will cross the region, pausing to rest for several days before heading off to find winter homes in Africa. In a magical sight, the air fills with thousands of cranes soaring and twirling in the sky.
